Cracks in space, body, voice - who we really are? Process of transformation, emancipation and fun, true participatory art
We live in an accelerated/ schnell time, where due to the concern to achieve everything, sometimes it is difficult to understand who we are, to get lost, sometimes we need some creative process, space, safety to let go, body, voice, dreams, and hopes. Using theater techniques/ performing lectures/Toilet installation, the idea is to recognize a situation of everyday tension and to allow it to experiment and relax in a safe environment. In fear of the unknown, we often don't dive into ourselves, but the cracks bring us back to the fact that we should learn, work on ourselves and rest.
From activist to artistic and academic spaces, associations and collectives that need education in the areas that I cross, which is: identity, migration, gender perspectives, transformation of public spaces for artistic purposes.
