SKRB (CARE) - three shift system
© Jasna Layes Vinovrški
The work explores care as embodied labour, examining how caregiving shapes bodies, identities and social relations. At its centre are three performers whose lives combine artistic, educational, administrative and family responsibilities — revealing forms of labour that remain largely invisible, despite being essential to everyday life. Through choreography, storytelling and humour, the performers' bodies become living archives of care, responsibility and endurance. The work connects to a long history of women from former Yugoslavia working as caregivers across Europe, particularly in Germany, where migrant care labour remains a crucial yet often undervalued part of the care system. In doing so, it speaks to the pressures of ageing populations, labour shortages and the growing crisis of care in European societies.
