ART & MONEY
An impossible love story between art and capital.
Art & Money is a performance about loneliness, dependence, and the quiet cruelty of needing what you cannot live with.
World premiere in Belgrade, 27 November 2025.
On repertoire at Heartefact House.
Available for international touring.
Two women on stage: Art and Money.
Dressed in gala gowns from an award ceremony they once attended – gowns they haven’t been able to take off since. Gowns that grown.
They argue, whisper, cry, laugh, seduce, insult and comfort each other. They play roles and then break them.
They talk, they plead, they perform. They circle around money, value, purpose, and survival – with desperation, humour and defiance.
Art and Money becomes a duet in more than words, a rhythm of contradiction, longing, and resistance.
It’s a sharp, absurd, and tender dialogue between two forces that both desire and despise each other. At once philosophical and painfully concrete, the piece explores dependency, performance, and worth; economic, aesthetic, emotional.
