Du Bist Mit Den Augen Woanders (Your eyes wander)

Dagmar Schwitzgebel
16.-23.06.2019

This project asks whether and to what extent current crises are being ignored by drawing moral boundaries and to explore what it means to take a deeper look. Participants will explore the biblical story of Lot from the Old Testament in a workshop setting, with the results being presented to the public afterward.
Lot was forced to flee when “the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah” because there were supposedly no ‘righteous people’ in those cities. As they escaped, Lot’s wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt. This examination will delve into how the denial of war and terror is viewed as a “righteous” virtue, a basic survival instinct, or a rejection of responsibility—especially in the context of Holocaust denial.
“Church of Performance” presents its latest workshop program: an introduction to the design of ritualistic performances for both performers and non-performers who wish to develop new skills and gain a deeper understanding of the creative process behind this distinctive art form.
Through discussions, reflections, and embodiment exercises, we will reinterpret the story and critically examine the meaning of social values shaped by Christianity. We will playfully explore the rich symbolism and iconography found in religious art, reconfiguring these elements to uncover new meanings. This process will reveal plural and fluid identities that develop organically over time and space.
