stand ins for a failed marriage



The Outside the Box-project commissions questions.
FFT, the venue we are committed to is looking for a dialogue with the city
Do /can we as commissioned artist answer this question?  
We can work with these elements, a dialogue where question and answers have their own logic:“play a role of investigators and dialogue creators”

play in the very space of the geometry of the question and the geometry of the investigations and the geometry of the dialogue, answers, etc...

act as investigators
&
reflect on our own position

play with framework

not bound by utilitarian purposes

facilitate dialogue with freedom to derail

objective character that breaks down into passionate tangents

heiner muller from brecht to shakespeare, looking for more interspace

mapping out already existing dialogue attempts between FFT and city

break out of instant communication format:
1st week interview people, videotape them
2nd week edit that
3rd week screen that together with other stuff:

Radio show format - including dialogues with people there on issues, radio play and history of performance in dusseldorf

Blue screen double room space, with images from Ddorf and beyond, allowing for actors to enter and take a part, to receive a portrait in the end

(“first” week is extra btw, residency is between 10th and 23rd of March)

have different people (actors in the city: politician, nurse, artist, shopkeeper, businessman) do hamlet dialogue “to be or not to be”
with a prompter

work with linguist who does conversation analysis (Lilla Magyari)
