ODYSSEY

Laurent Boijeot's "Odyssey" will take over the center of Sofia for a week. After its triumphant tours in New York, Tokyo, Lisbon, Thessaloniki and half of France, the unusual spectacle will also mow down Sofia. Within a week, artists will live and travel through the streets of Sofia, in conversations and unexpected situations with local residents.

The group does not exist.
The artists have been working together since 2010. They have chosen not to form a recognizable structure, such as an association, company or collective,
in order to take responsibility for their actions on their own behalf and not be limited by fixed group actions.
They freely associate with other artists or work independently on specific projects; there are no rules regarding the format or the number of people involved. The odyssey can be undertaken as a duo or solo and/or with associated artists, depending on the desire, availability and relevance of the
form and context
It is precisely the sum of these experiences that has determined the challenges and value of the actions carried out.

Laurent Boijeot is an artist, performer, author and sociologist, specializing in deviant practices in urban environments.

Over the past 13 years, more than seventy artistic actions have been carried out, which involve human interaction, encounters, dialogue and sharing, while questioning the concept of shared space, spectacle, collective emotion, collective memory co-created with the inhabitants, as well as long-term performance.
