Info

Our dear ones, due to objective reasons, independent of CNDB’s will, we have to cancel the performances of the show Less might be more, but sometimes less is just nothing from July 9th and 10th. The show will be rescheduled this summer for dates that we will announce soon. Those who have purchased tickets online (from the kompostor.ro website) will receive the equivalent value of the amount by bank transfer. We apologize and we thank you for your understanding!

Less might be more, but sometimes less is just nothing, is a work signed by Bulgarian choreographer Willy Prager and inspired by the disco band Zoom, founded in 1973 in Spain. The artist worked with students from the CNDB Academy of Dance and Performance for this project that is located at the intersection of visual art and disco dance culture.

As an artist, I am interested in the processes of transformation in the context of social, political, economic and cultural changes. We have developed a working method based on procedures for translating and reformulating pre-existing performative material.

Before COVID-19, the development of contemporary art followed the principle of modernity – a “less is more” approach. Restrictions in recent months, less communication, fewer meetings, less dancing, less participation, less protests, less socialization, less interaction, less interpretations, less criticism, less demonstrations, fewer participants, less of… makes the performance question this thesis and explores whether less is still more or nothing.
