This term is based on historical facts: In 1786, Katherine the Great organized a cruise in order to celebrate the conquest of the Turkish lands situated North to the Black Sea. At the approach of the cruise the General Potiemkin ordered the building of villages along the rivers of South Russia. Many passengers noticed that the thousands of villages were but virtual; a theatrical, decorative and spectacular trick intended to impress the passengers and to justify the conquest. According to the version of Delgado, in order to present a purified and festive image the General Potiemkin \u201ccleaned\u201d those areas from handicapped, insane persons, beggars, and independent artists. Potiemkin sent them to the last ship of the cruise and organized a show on board the last day. The show became an open opposition to the aristocracy. It was named \u201cPotiemkin Village\u201d<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-583 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Untitled4-300x240.gif\" alt=\"Untitled4\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Untitled4-300x240.gif 300w, https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Untitled4-210x168.gif 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Potiemkin Village of Delgado tried to recapture the spirit of the historical performance while breaking conventions of acting and watching of his times. The performance was both a sharp criticism of the country situation of those days and a silent call to a fierce arising.<\/p>\n<p>Sala-manca found appropriate to reconstruct and readapt that performance and to base it on the themes that Delgado developed. Those themes are adapted by sala-manca through the <i>mise en scene <\/i>of a tour in the different rooms of the \u201cHazira\u201d, during which the power relations of the spaces change.<\/p>\n<p>The traditional auditorium is weakened by the emphasis on the minor spaces. The stations of the tour are meant to announce the dissolution of the performance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-582\" src=\"http:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/POTgente2-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"POTgente2\" width=\"287\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/POTgente2-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/POTgente2-1024x696.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/POTgente2-210x143.jpg 210w, https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/POTgente2.jpg 1712w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-598\" src=\"http:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TRASH1-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"TRASH1\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TRASH1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TRASH1-1024x664.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TRASH1-210x136.jpg 210w, https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TRASH1.jpg 1048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TOSEEORNOTOSEE.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-597\" src=\"http:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TOSEEORNOTOSEE-198x300.jpg\" alt=\"TOSEEORNOTOSEE\" width=\"198\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TOSEEORNOTOSEE-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TOSEEORNOTOSEE-677x1024.jpg 677w, https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TOSEEORNOTOSEE-210x317.jpg 210w, https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TOSEEORNOTOSEE.jpg 688w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ub9h1rL27yU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>kin Village &#8211; A Reconstruction of a Never Performed Performance, Hazira, 2001 &amp; Populus, 2002 | Installation, Performance, Video by Sala-manca Homage to Marcel Ducham (Toilette Paper and Overhead Projector &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Potiemkin Village\u00a0 (Kfar Potiomkin) &#8211;\u00a0\u00a0Homage to Joao Delgado (1921-1976) Potiemkin Village, sala-manca\u2019s new performance, is based on the writings of the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/?p=574\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Potiomkin Village &#8211; A Reconstruction of a Never Performed Performance, 2001<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":575,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,10,23],"tags":[120,18,183],"class_list":["post-574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-curatorial-practice","category-works","category-performance","tag-hazira","tag-joao-delgado","tag-populus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=574"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/574\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":829,"href":"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/574\/revisions\/829"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.sala-manca.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
