Event Details

 

In this workshop series by Barkas & Addie, the participants are invited to come along on a journey of interpretations. In the Interview Series, we established that tying can be seen as a language in a broader sense. This workshop demonstrates the limits of our language as well as its unexpected possibilities. Since the borders of our world are the borders of our language, we try and reach exactly those borders and see that, in both ropes and language, poetry awaits.

In three workshops we do exactly that: write poems with, and read them through, ropes.

 

Part III Identity (March 23rd, 7-10pm CET)
To see and to be seen require recognition – of faces we already know, of words we have heard before, of patterns we remember. Who are we while we tie, and (how) are we supposed to ask
this of ourselves? Can we create ourselves more consciously while we tie? This last part doesn’t give answers but asks questions about what we can get out of a rope bondage scene.

 

A familiarity with the interview metaphor is not required but helps for a better understanding. You can get access to the recordings of the Interview Metaphor Series here.
