Beschreibung
H E R E S P E A K S E L E K T R A. In order to rise to a new level of humanity, please read the instructions carefully and comply. The corporeal tragedy of Here speaks Elektra takes place in the midst of affluence and safety maintained by glass walls and security inspections. It presents an ecstatic satire of freedom under the all-powerful dictatorship of images. Dreams””of encounters with others, of health, and of freedom from fear””mingle with the abuse of the world's poorest, the struggle for control, and the hidden mechanisms of power. In what situation do humans who put their hope into technology now find themselves? What is tolerable? Can I refuse this? Here speaks Elektra happens at the airport: a kind of non-place, where prosperity, freedom, control, hidden violence, internationality, technology, dreams of a unified world, and the harsh reality of inequality become concentrated. For thousands of years humans have dreamed of flying. What happens when flying has became commonplace for some of us? The perfomance abuses and exploits elements of expressive mime, performance art, media art, and monologues. Here speaks Elektra continues the research of the Laboratorium of the Tragic Space, and its aesthtetic is founded on the ability of the body to open up another space, and the corporeal transposition of tragic situation and experience.
