Liina Magnea, SSASSINS CREED (LADY SAYS STOP)

, Stadthausgalerie Münster

SSASSIN’S CREED (LADY SAYS STOP) looks at what happens when someone’s sense of power or place in society is shaken—or entirely removed. Some collapse into victimhood and lose themselves in loops of self-referential thought. Others rise up, claiming a kind of messianic purpose, convinced they must fix or change the world. From these ruptures, new figures emerge: cult leaders, lone actors, people on missions that no one asked for. Who do we become when we feel humiliated or unseen? What kinds of violence do we justify under the banner of change?

In the performance, Liina Magnea embodies the figure of the police officer, reenacting institutional authority while simultaneously dismantling it through humour, distorted language, and choreographic intervention. She performs an officer in crisis, whose authority is unsettled by social scrutiny and internal doubt.

Duration of the performance: 40 – 50 Minuten. The performance will be in English. The performance makes use of violent and aggressive language.
