In the article, I analyze 10  performances made in Culture Factory Polymer in Tallinn, Estonia
during the monthly experimental performance festival Dimanche Rouge. I divide the performances into three subjective categories and assess their quality in the context of contemporary performance art. In the review, I express appreciation towards mental presence of the artist in the process of a performance. Also, I question the definition of experimental regarding the festival. Since destruction is often described as experimental in performance art, could it be the new canon? In this case, artists should re-evaluate their definition of the experimental and perhaps seek order instead of chaos.
