“Alpha Centauri” A performance and book presentation by Alexander Plotnikov

The performance “Alpha Centauri” is about those we’re not supposed to talk about. Those whose biographies are hidden in shame. Those whose inconvenient lives are met with uneasy silence.
Looking into the darkness of history, we begin to see them: the silhouettes of those who lost — those who failed, who didn’t make it. Those who dropped out or were used as expendable material for someone else’s triumph.

Is there space in the present for those who ended up in the wrong place, whose dreams were erased, whose voices silenced? And how does this endless glorification — be it of war or space conquest — shape our modern political consciousness?
