Monument of Friendship- 24.09-4.10 2010

Legnica. The place called Slavic Square, where is an Monument of Polish – Soviet Friendship, a significant symbol associated with history of Legnica. It gives rise to much controversy.

And so, it is for what we want to focus on. This will be a meeting attended by young people from Russia and former USSR countries: Poland and Latvia. On 24.09 - 04.10.2010 we will create a performance based on previously collected personal stories of the old Soviet times Legnica and everyday situations of Polish - Russian relations. We will present with a dance (break dance, ballet, modern dance), music (hip - hop, and Russian choir), acting.

However the most important people are the regulars of Slavic square: skateboarders and skaters. We want to show today's Slavic Square and people with their problems - mainly lack of opportunity to develop their passions.

Main aims of the project is to search for new meaning and idea of the Monument at this place, because for years there have been a problem with decision what to do with this Monument. Remove, sell, put it to a different place, or leave? Monument often reminds difficult for Legnica times - we want to change it by artistic actions, events and meetings in this place. Our goal is a change stereotypical thinking. This will be a meeting about Monument of Friendship, no longer Polish - Soviet but simply friendship.
