In Russian performance art history the mass spectacle “The Storming of the Winter Palace” is shown as one of the first collective performances. In our project we would not include this mass spectacle into performance art history, but there are some performances, happenings or actions that are linked to this event or to the reenactments of the “Storming of the Winterpalace”. In our exhibition we present some of those “reenactments” by Orange Alternative (Poland 1987) or by Milo Rau (Berlin 2017).
