POETIC JUNCTION "DRELI KUDA POPALO" (DKP) - a combination
of opinions, ideas, desires, illusions, actions.
The association was established in May, 1998, in St. Petersburg,
Russia
The first line-up - 7 people; currently(as of 27.12.2000),
the Alliance consists of 6 people.
Genre - POPULAR URBAN POETRY.
As to its form, DKP's production is HAPPENING that is a sound
poetic utterance combined with musical and
noise compositions, video and photo performance, stage (physical)
action and any other expressive means.
DKP deliberately choose not to pursuit any artistic or aesthetic
objectives, follow any art, philosophic scientific or social
theories, strategy or tactics. At the same time it doesn't presuppose
that DKP exclude the possibility of applying known methods and
technology in their creative experiments.
The leading motives of the POETRY ALLIANCE: Dissatisfaction,
Obsession, Joy, Passion, Rage, Love, Pain, Loneliness, Boredom,
Protest.
DRELI KUDA POPALO, first - are not fagots, second - are not
poets. They are super-poets - that's what they are. A Poetic
Alliance that unites 6 people, and there were 8 people at the
beginning. In other words, DRELI KUDA POPALO make good poetry.
Worthy poetry. That's it.
- DRELI KUDA POPALO - A Poetic Alliance of non-conformist people,
who want to push forward whatever can be pushed forward. DRELI
KUDA POPALO = beer + champagne, it's so exquisite, it's so refined.
- DRELI KUDA POPALO is utmost bullshit, such absolute degradation
and decadance.
