Theatre, Politics and Ongoingness
The precondition is that everything in the world is in a continuous becoming and the nucleus of this movement is the unfolding of the event. So, it is not a daring thing to say that everything is in unrest. Beautiful and frightful movements continuously and perpetually make up the world. Everything and everywhere, atoms, viruses, organisms and humans keep moving and this steaming restless energy is the one thing that philosophy, science, politics and art always have and always will relate to - in conscious or unconscious ways. When making theatre, an art that moves through time, we organize our material and create our concepts and compositions in a deliberate tensional relationship to this eternal movement. Predominantly, through the history of theatre, this relationship has been about what broadly could be labeled political aspects and social issues, or questions of an existential, philosophical and religious nature.
