raum ist politisch

this choreographic composition by theatercombinat investigates the violence or possibility of central perspectival arrangements and the subjectivity of desire in seeing. it deals with the politics of the combination of body, language, space, time and viewer.

«où est donc le tableau» was shown at nestroysaele, a former private jewish theatre on praterstrasse in the 2nd district of vienna. the art nouveau theatre shows indications of its different use throughout the last century, such as theatre, varieté theatre, cinema, finally even as supermarket. «où est donc le tableau» reopened the nestroysaele as theatre space.

« he doesn’t see anything because he doesn’t want to see - because one could perfectly well see nothing » (jean luc godard)

the rupture in viewing and hearing. does any perception exist without words in the head. the viewer constructs relations and desires. what we see is what looks at us. the bodies work between visibility and invisibility. the bodies produce the standstill of visibility and the movement of seeing and projecting. the bodies shift gravity. they undertake changes close to invisibility. these bodies fall, shift, produce the rupture in the field of vision. the anticipation of the viewer is interrupted. in speaking the bodies construct a different picture, a viewing in process, associations and reflections of two pictures in a montage of the texts by heiner müller and michel foucault. there’s a rupture between language and body, between one body and the same body, between the subject and the object of appearance and perception. the politics of medial systems are being rendered perceivable through the displacement of bodies, language, space, time and viewing towards one another.
