Moritz Ostruschnjak – NON + ULTRAS

Chants, flags, flares and protests. Welcome to the unruly football terraces, where supporter culture meets politics and collective euphoria can tip into chaos at any moment.

Football chants fill the room. A sea of supporters’ scarves bearing the names of clubs from every corner of the world – the important, the famous, the absurd and the provincial – is transformed into flags, masks and a prayer mat. Step onto the pulsating football terraces – a seething borderland where football culture, political protest and popular culture collide.

Drawing on his background in graffiti and breakdance, Ostruschnjak creates a physical and visual whirlwind in NON + ULTRAS. Colourful, loud and unpredictable. Here, Swifties meet ultras, police riots meet mascots, and Arabic songs meet Beethoven. Unbridled celebration can turn into a riot in an instant. The collective ecstasy balances on the fine line between an unparalleled sense of community and fanaticism.

Ostruschnjak takes us on a journey through both euphoria and anxiety. Where joy and unease mingle in a constantly shifting dynamic between group and individual, silence and raucous turmoil.

Performance duration: 75 min.
