ÜBERFLÜSSIGER ÜBERFLUSS ÜBER DEN FLUSS

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

A participatory theater play on the theme of water and our responsibility as humanity (or at least as part of it).

The artistic productions of Bárbara Santos and Till Baumann are the result of research processes into the aesthetics of the oppressed, based on sound/rhythm, image/movement, and word/text, which promote the discovery of creative potentials and the development of an autonomous and critical view of society. The artistic productions aim to connect aesthetic research within a contextual approach, collective learning, and concrete and continuous social actions.

KURINGA Forum Theater addresses issues that challenge the lives of different social groups to promote an active and horizontal dialogue within society. The KURINGA Forum sessions aim to avoid individualistic perspectives and encourage the audience to come together and experience collective strategies for overcoming the oppressions depicted on stage, taking into account the real social position of each individual in life (gender, social class, profession, etc.).

The Aesthetics of the Oppressed is a series of activities aimed at dismantling the strategies of the system of oppression, which influences and convinces oppressed men and women that they are incapable of creating, producing, or deciding, and that they should therefore be content with consumption. The Aesthetics of the Oppressed is an exercise in freedom that stimulates the creative and critical production of culture and knowledge.

This performance will be held in collaboration with Spore Initiative, which facilitates cultural projects at the intersection of climate justice, ecological regeneration, and education, in dialogue with earth protectors in the Global South and the Global North. The Spore House in Berlin serves as a platform for exchange, dialogue, and mutual learning. At the core of their work is the weaving of dialogues and the nurturing of common grounds that exist between communities, organizations, and people who may be geographically or culturally far from one another but are linked through practices of care for the earth.
