#share

With the virtual project #share, Acker Stadt Palast is now offering groups and artists a framework to experiment artistically and at the same time to get in touch with their audience even without a live performance. The format is an experiment - for everyone involved.

Artists give insights into their work and rehearsal processes and share them online via Acker Stadt Palast's media channels. The audience, the users of Facebook and Instagram are cordially invited to post feedback and in this way are given the opportunity to act as co-directors and dramaturges in order to help shape active processes.

The corresponding excerpts are published in loose succession via social media, on the Acker Stadt Palast's homepage and youtube channel.

#share "Fabeln: die Fliege, die Frau, das Glühwürmchen, der Tropfentagschläfer" / Marina Cyrino

Fabeln: die Fliege, die Frau, das Glühwürmchen, der Tropfentagschläfer” is a solo sound-thatre performance centered on Animal Otherness and the interrelation with feminism(s). The performance articulates three works, created and performed by Marina Cyrino. Through the potentialities of sound, images and of her own body, she tells three different woman-animal metamorphoses, Marina Cyrino re-imagines the female body, and the animal body, open to possibilities beyond places of curse, punishment and violence. To help her in her task, she will be guided by a fly, a firefly and a potoo.

The association between women and animals is historically supported by philosophy, science, art, mass comunication. The concept of "mankind" in Western culture has political and social roots that have served as a mechanism for the exclusion of diverse populations, such as women, from the category of subject. The symbolic and conceptual relationship between animals and women —and among other human subjects— has justified, and still justifies, a series of violences: exploitation, colonization, genocide, feminicide. Animality, therefore, serves as a device of exclusion for those denied access to the category of subject, following a logic of domination that provokes different forms of oppression. This only happens because animality is considered a space of legitimate violence.

The performance is currently scheduled for April 16/17, 2021.

Marina Cyrino is a Brazilian artist and a current fellow from the "Weltoffenes Berlin 2021" program.
