Als Russland 2022 die Vollinvasion der Ukraine begann, löste dies in der gesamten Region komplexe geopolitische Spannungen aus, die auch die Kunstwelt erfassten. Diesen heiklen Zustand loten die beiden Künstler*
innen Agnietė Lisičkinaitė und Igor Shugaleev anhand der angespannten Beziehung ihrer Heimatländer Litauen und Belarus aus. Mit minimalistischen Kostümen, Gesten und Requisiten sowie kurzen Text- und Videosequenzen wagen sie einen beinahe unmöglichen Dialog. Frei von dem Anspruch, politische Lösungen anzubieten, regt „CLAP & SLAP” zum Nachdenken über Verantwortung und Schuld, Nationalismus und Patriotismus, Selbstverteidigung und Aggression an.
