Protocole V.A.L.E.N.T.I.N.A

Booking Required

Protocole V.A.L.E.N.T.I.N.A is a solo performance by Olivia Csiky-Trnka that explores the impulse to leave one’s origins and the vertigo of migration through the lens of space travel. Blending her intimate migratory testimony with collective space history and a naive enthusiasm for astrophysics, the piece recounts a month of enforced isolation following NASA-like mission protocols. Themes include self‑sufficiency, gender equality in extraterrestrial futures and the porous border between performance and transformation.

In French.
