Joanna Pawlik\u2019s <\/span>Spinalonga<\/span><\/i> examines how societies produce social exclusion by marking certain bodies as different, undesirable, or out of place. Drawing on histories of disability, illness, and social segregation, the performance asks who is allowed to appear in public space, under what conditions, and with what degree of visibility and agency.<\/span><\/p>

At Museo Moderno, <\/span>Spinalonga<\/span><\/i> will take on a new, site-specific form. Pawlik develops each presentation in direct response to the architecture, acoustics, and circulation patterns. Movement through the museum \u2212 from entrances and staircases to corridors and different levels \u2212 will become part of the work\u2019s dramaturgy. Sound, proximity, and changing spatial relations will shape the audience\u2019s encounter with the performance, making the museum itself an active element in a work about visibility, access, and the right to occupy shared space.<\/span><\/p>

The title refers to Spinalonga, the Greek island that housed one of Europe\u2019s last leprosy colonies until 1957. Pawlik also draws inspiration from the history of the compulsory use of bells and clappers that people affected by leprosy were required to wear \u2212 objects whose sound warned of their arrival, ensured social separation, or represented a plea for help. Bells attached to the artist\u2019s body become both an acoustic trace of these histories and a way to reclaim presence: what once marked a body for exclusion becomes a force that demands public attention. This reversal lies at the core of Pawlik\u2019s engagement with disability and public visibility. Through movement, sound, crutches, and prostheses, she resists the objectification and removal from view of bodies that do not conform to normative expectations. Instead, bodily difference becomes a source of choreography, agency, and artistic form. <\/span>Spinalonga<\/span><\/i> turns a history of imposed separation into a powerful assertion of presence \u2212 within the museum and, symbolically, within the social space it represents.<\/span><\/p>
