Julian Warner
DER SOLDAT. Ein Übergangsritual
description
Austrian premiere
A Black artist realises that he has become a soldier. He enters the stage as a cultural worker. But in the struggle for representation and resources, he is given a weapon and learns that the arts are no exception: the liberation of the occupied is also the occupiers’ terror. But is cultural warfare really war? Few have written as lucidly about violence in a fractured world as Frantz Omar Fanon (1925–1961). A psychiatrist and Marxist from Martinique, he was convinced that the dehumanisation brought on by European colonialism could not be overcome through negotiation and compromise, rather only by destroying it. Fanon’s justification of anti-colonial violence has been well received by leftists from the Black Panther Party to the Red Army Faction and is still the subject of controversial debate today. In which situations does one need to organise violence or resistance against it? On stage, the Black artist relives his transformation into a soldier. In the interplay of spoken word and the physical force of the drums, he interrogates the historical situation and explores his relationship to violence.
