Theater- and solo-performance, plus video-interventions, in Transit<\/em> -intercultural theater performance<\/p>\n

(Shows: 07.2014 in Tuebingen, 02.2015 in Tuebingen and Balingen and 12.2015 Tuebingen)<\/p>\n

The project Transit<\/span> was<\/span> an initiative of ‘Masckaratheater<\/em>‘ based in Tuebingen and it brought together people that found themselves in shifting situations, like migration, end of a carrier, unemployment. In search of new perspectives. Around 20 actors and musicians from different countries worked together in this intercultural performance on the ‘freedom’ of movement in Europe.<\/p>\n

viki semou’s contribution<\/span><\/span> focused on those people to whom any place in ‘the system’ is denied, one way or another. In other words, those marginalized even among marginalized.<\/p>\n

“TECHNICAL”\u00a0 DETAILS (of the intervention in Stadtmuseum)<\/p>\n

Viki Semou participated in the event with a solo performance and a series of interventions in the space with the work of Lotte Reiniger, an artist of shadow-theater plays and stop-motion films with 2d-figures mostly in black. These interventions consisted of 1. a video in loop in combination of a Reiniger’s video, 2. the video of that day’s theater play which was recorded while v.semou was participating in it, and 3. a live stream of what she was seeing during her solo. This last screening featured successively the image of drawers\/boxes and then the image of people -the audience.<\/p>\n

1.<\/p>\n

Art has often been a place where \u2018abnormals\u2019, \u2018monsters\u2019 and other \u2018curiosities\u2019 can be fearlessly and harmlessly presented. Even accepted. As long as they stay there. When it ‘s only a show. In the realm of art and the non-real, of fantasy and dream.<\/p>\n

Yet, the \u2018abnormals\u2019 and the \u2018monsters\u2019 exist and are claiming\u00a0 their place among \u2018us\u2019.<\/p>\n

2.<\/p>\n

“Discrimination and prejudice are often condemned as markers of cruelty or insensitivity and not as markers of structural inequality. This reduces the reality of social injustice to a question of compassion and charitable feelings.<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

(paraphrasing Alison Kafer in \u2018Feminism, Queer, Crip\u2019)<\/em><\/p>\n
