The writer
Achim Wagner will read, art works of
Sebastian KÃrbs and
Berenice GÃttler will be shown
and performative internventions
(loosely based on
Laurie Weeks) will be felt.
The centre of the evening is the examination of the format
reading as a place of different performances.
Content wise starting from two different, maybe even
opposite, narrative strands, this
Performing Encountersbrings together what should belong together: Recitation
and reception within an intimate setting.
Achim Wagner, a
poet and writer, who lives and works in Berlin and Ankara
since 2011, will present new poetry, he developed last
year during a project with syrian refugees. In order to
break up the hierarchies of the classic, hierarchic reading
as much as possible, in the title we quote the
School for
Vulnerable Little Tinies, an alternative writing class, taught
and developed by the feminist poet Laurie Weeks. Weeks
will not only be quoted - her
offstage instructions via
SMS to the reading's audience will enclose the event in a
performative way. Thus not only the hierarchical
relationship between
orator and
audience will be
questioned but also the presence of the spectators will be
required. The goal is to create a
school of mutual
awareness, that for one evening lifts the ratio of learners
and teachers.
From 08:00 pm to 10:00 pm we kindly ask those who
would like to be an active part of the performance for their
cell phone number.
