Nowadays, I tend to return to Trafó every year or so. This year, I was asked to do the visual for the Thury siblings’ play „Public Dangerous Workers”. A resounding success at the end of a long rehearsal process 🙂 So for the time being, we’ll keep on playing.
For almost a year, the creators and participants of the performance have been reflecting together on the relationship between work and leisure, the burdens and beauties of leisure, vulnerability, constraints, self-exploitation and burnout.
Drawing on the experiences of the research process and on archival material from the 1920s and ’20s, this presentation explores life situations in which the boundaries between leisure and work, work and private life are increasingly blurred, and which are so similarly different as to be worth addressing in community.
