About the Work
“I have a world deep in my soul; but it’s as if it’s been broken and shattered because it fell from above.” – Hans Henny Jahnn
This mutidisciplinary reflection on violence and pacifism in the consumerist society takes as a point of departure the first generation of the Red Army Faction. It emphasizes vulnerability of the body, visceral response to the environment, and making of the images and stereotypes, while interweaving historical and psychoanalytic fragments through movement, sound, and text.
The work combines the research and critical insight of the German studies’ scholar Karin Bauer, embodied expression of the performers (Kelley Donovan, Alessandro Magania, Julies Outeda-Matute, Del Porter and Allison Trotta), the lighting design by Kate McGee, the original images from Damien Rambure, and digital backdrop by Ana Krtolica.
