The Cierto-Pluck,

Jiny Svety, Aneska Praha (2024)


This piece was a part of the multidisciplinary performance evening “Jiny Svety” which traslates to “A New World” held in Prague. I acted like a saleswoman from a fictional company with a suitcase full of a fictional product: the Cierto-pluck. This product is designed to be inserted in the ear when having difficult talks with each other and is advertised as a help toconverse with more honesty. For the audience to receive their own product they had to answer 2-3 difficult questions with honesty. If I thought, they answered honestly, I would let them choose their personal Cierto-Pluck. It allowed people to open up to each other and become aware of their conversations. Testing what can happen if we materialise reminders to practise introspection.
