Today, when as individuals the idea of a workers' society built on social solidarity still survives only in the form of hazy nostalgia, while the empathic self that finds its integrity in the spirit of community is now embodied by an emoticon, the mere mention of the change in the socio-political system in which we live causes the conviction that it is much easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. Whether it is about the consequences of the failed political expectations of all the revolutions that only contributed to changing the ruling structures and increasing the class gap, or whether it is about the general transformation of today's interpersonal love into interest negotiations between business partners dictated by the laws of the market, one question always remains: where is the hope? On whose shoulders does it exist today?
The contemporary dance performance "Room for Revolution" questions the possibility of an essential (internal, moral, personal and thought) reform of an individual who rushes into the narcissistic ideology of the new age, and then an essential reform of the social order. Even when we manage, as individuals of today's neoliberal and capitalist society, to self-consciously persist in rejecting the hypnotic ideologies of self-help (self-help) actualization and popularization of ourselves, and thus see the presence of the lethargic, melancholic, hopeless and depressed realism that we all live, an important challenge still remains before us: can we face such circumstances (emotionally)? Does it suit us? How to ensure that such a challenge does not remain an isolated case of each of us, but a common issue that concerns us all?
