MUTTIKAN

In the organizer's words:

DIERICH-MATZKE | RAMM | MERENDA

English version below

Neither kinky parties nor Beyoncé have managed to break through the hard core of the millennia-old Roman Catholic tradition. A tradition that is performatively authenticated by the constant performance of rituals. A tradition that systematically excludes women and queers, among others. Now we say: Enough with the Vatican - it's time to open the Muttikan.

MUTTIKAN performatively appropriates the Roman Catholic mass as a format and develops a secular counter-model to it. Marco Merenda, Linda Lou Dierich-Matzke and Christopher Ramm guide the audience - the children of the Muttikan - through experiences that give new meanings to the events and actions of the mass. Roman Catholic church rituals and orders of movement are translated on three different levels: ritual-symbolic, content-related and spatial-choreographic.

English

Neither kinky parties nor Beyoncé have managed to break through the hard core of the millennia-old Roman Catholic Church tradition. A tradition that is performatively legitimized by the constant execution of rituals. A tradition that systematically excludes women and queers, among others. Now we say: Enough with the Vatican - it is time to launch the Muttikan.

MUTTIKAN is a performative appropriation of the Roman Catholic mass as a format and develops a secular counter-model to it. Marco Merenda, Linda Lou Dierich-Matzke and Christopher Ramm guide the audience - the children of the Muttikan - through experiences that attribute new meanings to the procedures and actions of the mass. Roman Catholic rituals and orders of movement are translated on three different levels: ritual-symbolic, content-related and spatial-choreographic.
