Eine Gruppe von Personen steht und kniet in einer schmalen Stadtstraße zwischen farbigen Hausfassaden. Einige tragen rote Schutzanzüge, andere weiße Overalls mit Kapuzen; zwei knien am Boden mit erhobenen Händen, eine Person hat einen schwarzen Stoff über dem Kopf. Mehrere Beteiligte tragen Kopfhörer. Auf der linken Seite beobachten zwei Personen in Alltagskleidung die Szene. Die Situation wirkt wie eine inszenierte Performance im öffentlichen Raum. *** A group of people stand and kneel in a narrow city street lined with colorful buildings. Some wear red protective suits, others white hooded coveralls; two kneel on the ground with their hands raised, and one person has a black cloth covering their head. Several participants wear headphones. On the left, two casually dressed onlookers observe the scene. The situation appears to be a staged performance in public space.

Dialectics of Erasure is a participatory lecture-performance by Palestinian-German artist-scholar Mudar Al-Khufash that invites you, the audience, to participate in unraveling the mechanism sustaining the everyday performance of settler colonialism.

This is an experiment.

Beginning outdoors. You are split into groups and guided through a series of real-time actions that invite you to shift your perspective and imagine lived realities under settler colonialism.

We then move indoors, where, through stage speech and digital imagery (extended reality), we collectively examine the positions you inhabit, within a system of displacement, complicity, and erasure. 

The lecture-performance frames settler colonialism not as an event of the past, but an ongoing structure sustained through performative rules, routine, choreographed movements, and images that organize perception, behavior, and knowledge, structures in which we are all implicated.

A premiere of Mudar Al-Khufash’s participatory lecture-performance, based on previous Research and Developement in collaboration with BÉZNĂ Theatre, Claire Gilbert and Sînziana Cojocărescu.

Duration: 70 minutes | Age 18+ 

The exact meeting point will be emailed to you in April. Please check SPAM.
