This
transversal project went beyond the fields of performance, performance theory,
philosophy and politics yet, at the same time made reference to these fields.
Four immigrants to Austria and four members of the Austrian majority reflected
on desire, constellations of power, political constellations and entering
public visibility. |

The
thematizing of desire initiated in Laboratory
for Performance and Post Dramatic Acting 4 led in the project afformativ
- through confrontation with a potential oK (body without organization)
collective - to questions dealing with desired locations and desire as freedom
of movement. Where migration is concerned, these issues are of great relevance.
In this project, collaboration with maiz
(autonomous integration center for and from migrants in Linz) and Rubia
Salgado from maiz
in particular, brought in the symbolic dimension of anthropophagy, a resistance
strategy of the disadvantaged that is linked to desire.
The intentions of this strategy are to create disturbances, breaks, and
transformations of western European logic. "Surprise! You'll swallow
me now!"1 |

We
are never with ourselves; I am never identical to myself.
We take on certain positions, but question a certain self, and do it continually.
I take on certain positions, but question a certain self, at least sometimes
and repeatedly.
When sense is derived from a collective being, heteronomy appears unavoidable.
Who determines us? Who do we determine? Who determines me? Whom do I determine?
And in which way? |
| |
| "I
arrive at this self only through an ec-static movement, that brings me out
of myself and leads me to a sphere in which I don't belong to myself, as
it were, and am constituted as a subject."2

| This
project was made possible through the support of the
city of Vienna/Kultur (Förderung für Freie Gruppen im Bereich
Off-Theater und Tanz), ttp WUK,
Im_flieger, and Bilderwerfer.
afformativ took place in collaboration with maiz
(autonomous integration
center for and from migrants in Linz) within the framework of Gleiche
Privilegien für alle, funded by Land
Oberösterreich (Institut für Kulturförderung), Gesellschaft
für politische Bildung and BKA. |
