2020/21 SS What the Thunder Said
The live performance happened via Microsoft Teams. I recited the last part of T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land”. As a contemporary Tiresias, I embodied the narrator of our times, paralised in a bleak and dim scenery where hope for better times seems to be vanished.

Studio Interact – PERFORM, BODY
‘Command’ is the topic our Studio chose for this Summer semester 2020 – and it just occurred that, since early March, a set of instructions and rules has been shaping our interhuman behaviour. Simultaneously, a relatively new teaching format got as well rapidly implemented by all schools, so to allow continuity in education in the sanitary emergency. We started our online classes with a mix of frustration and thrill. Staying forcibly separated from each other, at the beginning felt like an objective limitation to our dialogue and work process – yet, distance got gradually perceived as an opportunity to test one of the formats that performance allows.
