15.11.2024
Sexyland World, Amsterdam
Duration: 3 h
NIGHTMERDAM is an ongoing project initiated by emerging artist and b-movie director duo Alessandro Veneruso & Sandro je the Wolf. Donatas joined two chapters of this project as an actor, performer and a pig.
On a chilly fall night, crowded space of Sexyland World was transformed into a B-movie set and a playground for the absurdist trio. Donatas was dressed as a fever dream - infused symbiosis of the riot cop and a pig (same thing). The costume consisted of a riot cop kid toy helmet and actual pork parts attached with a plastic magnetron film to the body of the performer. The crowd-pleasing sausage snack was served, bagpipe melodies performed by Mel Foe pierced the dense air, ketchup splashed and the pig cop was sacrificed. Sandro je the Wolf compulsively documented the ongoing bacchanalia with a camcorder glued to his paw. Yay.

Slotervaart, Amsterdam
Duration: 1,5 h
NIGHTMAREDAM III is a continuation of the previous chapter, where Sandro je the Wolf and Donatas are diving onto dizzying phantasmagoria of consumerism, absurdity and glamour. For 1,5 h Donatas performed a catwalk - inspired activity at the abandoned Slotervaart hospital. Blinding camera flashlights & catchy fashion house style beat accompanied duo during 1.5h long bacchanalia. Outfits made of actual pig skin were decorated with tattoos poked by hairy paws of the Sandro je the Wolf.
