Exploring theory and post-dramatic theatre

JP Hall - Bangor University / Zoom

Heiner Müller:

"Theater, denen es nicht mehr gelingt, die Frage WAS SOLL DAS zu provozieren, werden mit Recht geschlossen.“

(Rather frrely translated into English:

"Theatres that no longer succeed in provoking the question WHAT THE FUCK WHY AND WHAT IS THIS are rightly closed."

This group is exploring how can theoretical texts act as epiphytes for dramatic texts, how can we graft theoretical textbites and stage, what does theatricality (theatre = θέατρον (théatron = place for viewing) help us to see in a dramatic vs a theoretical text?

In this session we’ll be exploring "Experimenting Embodied Struggle":

We want to explore the literal and metaphorical-literal wording of class struggle, of work conflict and job wrestling - including physical set ups. When do we compete and obey to the ideology of competition, when do we find alternatives? How to survive, where do we survive, in what forms do we survive? 

If you’d like to join in this exploration, send Sarah Pogoda an email and let her know if you’d like to join ‘in the room’ in Bangor or on Zoom, and if you have any accessibility/other needs.
