What to affirm, what to perform? - an ongoing project

While the activities of the partners in Bucharest, Ljubljana and Zagreb focus on documenting the unwritten history of dance in Eastern Europe, the Tanzquartier Wien has set a complementary framework for an inter-and transmedia definition of dance, taking its starting point in the history of the Western avant-garde and asking about the “inadvertently” ignored in traditional historiography.
What to affirm? What to perform? negotiates the question of affirmation as a performative method and political stance. To choose the aesthetics of subversive affirmation means taking a political position, affirmative and performative at the same time.
The project comprises various formats of art and theory, including archive work and the reconstruction of art projects, linking up to one’s own submerged tradition as well as to more recent projects.

soon we will publish more info about upcoming events organized in the frame of this project
