5 GESTURES TOWARDS was born out of an on-going dialogue with fellow artist resulting in realisation that: - local performing arts scene needs a space for experimentation and alternative formats supporting works not focusing on an end result and the delivery of a ready made product - 80% of immaterial labour of the artist focusing on producing a performance end up in the note books, smoking rooms and the heads of the authors and collaborators, never seeing the light of the day - each art medium is rarely meeting any other mediums and its practitioners; we are all living living in our uniquely crafted bubbles and hardly get out of our niches - as an art institution and a production house elektron.art wants to host daring and experimental projects challenging the norms of our society and the world at large, resulting in a more kind, open, caring, risk taking, open-minded and non-violent world
