My works start at the place where fuzzy edges and breaks occur in empirical social rersearch experiments — for example, when there are unwanted emotional reactions in interview situations.
I seek these disruptions, conflicts and irritations in the interviews I have recorded for this purpose and transfer them into new contexts, often as miniature plays. |
In delegated performances, I let others, often actresses and actors, "incorporate" speak or sing these miniatures specifically to new contexts.
My explorations draw on the tradition of the Documentary theatre in Germany (1920`s and 1960`s). They focus on speech acts as the constitution of reality and address the relationship between authenticity and public orchestration in political and cultural locations. |
