Join the Critical Practice (Made in YU) 3//team of artists-theorists, practitioners and writers// which invites the audience to spend some "Critical Time" together. In an informal, drinking/cookies playful setting, we will be trying out different post-performance formats such as meaning/projection/roleplaying games for the audience and the artists . If you don’t drink or consume sugar, you can engage with us on the festival's blog where we will post reflections and conversation podcasts with the the cultural workers from the local scene.

Hey!
-
-
Hi!
-
-
How are you?
-
-
I wish I'd slept more, but I'm
fine. How about you?
-
-
I'm still hungover from
yesterday.
-
-
Did you stay late?
-
-
It was past 5 when we got home.
-
-
Wow, and you said you would
just have one drink and head home.
-
-
Yeah, well, that's what I do.
Change my mind a lot, I mean.
-
-
Will you be changing your mind
when we do the writing too?
-
-
Probably. But actually, I had
an idea I wanted to share with you.
-
-
Tell me.
-
-
Remember how yesterday, when
they were presenting Movement Research, they said how they organise those
anonymous interviews between artists and then reveal their identities in the
next issue?
-
-
I was late so no, I don't
remember.
-
-
Nevermind, so that's what they
do and I think we can borrow their concept for our text.
-
-
But are we artists?
-
-
Why is that relevant?
-
-
Because you said they do these
interviews with artists.
-
-
We're dramaturges.
-
-
Is that a yes or a no?
-
-
(Silence).
-
-
Okay, so let me see if I got it
– you want us to do an anonymous dialogue and publish it on the festival blog?
-
-
Yes, I think it's okay to do
adopt a format that somehow reflects and speaks to the works in progress which
we saw yesterday.
-
-
Do we always have to be meta?
-
-
(Silence).
-
-
Anyways, I'm in.
-
-
Great. Let's do this.
-
-
And when do we reveal our identities?
-
-
Maybe never.
-
-
Why?
-
-
I don't know, we're shy.
Anonymity is comfortable. And a way of sidestepping responsibility, perhaps.
-
-
Doesn't have to be.
-
-
Of course, it can and it
doesn't have to be.
-
-
What if we actually started?
-
-
What if, instead of writing
this text, we would be looking at the Moon through a telescope?
-
-
What if we went for a trip to
Detroit?
-
-
What if we sang a sad karaoke
altogether?
-
-
What if we danced to house
music for our Polish cousin Monika?
-
-
What if we said thank you to
the wall?
-
-
What if we danced a sacred
dance for seven days, in order to communicate with the dead?
-
-
What if you could choose the
person who will contact you when you die?
-
-
What if we had a grandmother in
Guatemala?
-
-
What if I didn’t remember
exactly what Levi asked me about touching my eyelashes with his own?
-
-
What if these minutes were
years, in vampire time?
-
-
What if everything in the world
came with rice?
-
-
What if we messed up the space
now?
-
-
What if I was somewhere else in
1996?
-
-
Ok, but try to remember, where
exactly you were in 1996? Where exactly?
-
-
What if I told you I was in a
big field?
-
-
What if we messed up the text
now?
-
-
Isn’t it already messed up?
-
-
But we're at the end of it.
-
-
Already?
-
-
Yes.
-
-
And we're still anonymous.
-
-
Yes.
-
-
And we should stay so.
