TOTAL INTERNATIONAL (LOKAL) #2

In the work TOTAL INTERNATIONAL (LOKAL) #2 the Swiss performing artist Andreas Liebmann and the performer Boaz Barkan invite the audience into a domestic space containing a cello, a skateboard, old LP records and a portable gramophone. The two performers pose the question of how, as international artists, they can challenge the colonialist notion of conquering the world via air travel and digital communication. But travel is also about the imagination. The audience is therefore invited to write a letter by hand. What access to others somewhere else in the world does this open? The work presents current issues in the midst of a climate crisis in a poetic and unpretentious way. The two performers ask, amongst other things: How can you communicate with people around the world with the help of the imagination? And how can you experience a distant place without actually being there? This is where art comes into play in indicating and expressing alternatives.

The performance has previously been presented at Får302 in March 2022, and has also been shown at Tanzhaus Zürich.

PLEASE NOTE: The performance will be in English.

There will be an artist talk on stage after the performance.
