Mala Kline: THE END is CANCELLED!

The performace is cancelled.

»THE END is a performance drawing its inspiration from Artaud’s radio play entitled Pour Finir Avec Le Jugement De Dieu (To Have Done with the Judgement of God), which itself deals with the problem of judgement, i.e. a mechanism inherently inscribed in every single form of representation. The essential question posed in this context is how to bring a mechanism of judgement to an end and thus liberate the body in Artaud’s concept of ‘body without organs’, which stands as the goal of Artaud’s entire utopian theatre project.
THE END explores the very matter which we imagine to inhabit a place beyond the borders of representation. It is a play about theatricality and even a rebellion against it. It is a performance questioning the limits of theatre, reason and judgement. It is a search for ways of opening a space of (artistic) freedom and madness in theatre, which in its expectance of the unexpected turns everything upside down. This performance is a rehearsal in presence, nonsense, idleness, slips of all shapes and sorts … and laughter. This performance is a dance turned upside-down.«
