08 DISRUPTIVE ACTIONS - AFFECTION AS A POLITICAL GESTURE
When reading CHAOS: The Broadsheets of Ontological Anarchism by Hakim Bey, Coletivo Labirinto noticed a powerful scope for actions: Life is chaos.
And if chaos disturbs our way of thinking and living, it also makes us feel provoked to face the disorganization of what we have as established, as standardized in our living spaces. Then, we understand poetic terrorism, given our historical-social context and our concerns in relation to it, as a possibility of disrupting this wall of apathy and indifference built on and through us. It is a way to unsettle its structure through its opposite pole - affection.
Thus, in 2019, Coletivo Labirinto started a process of scenic research with the project 08 DISRUPTIVE ACTIONS - AFFECTION AS A POLITICAL GESTURE, carried out with the support of the cultural program - Proac Artes Integradas. For this project, the group went through eight bus stations, in the city of São Paulo, performing some actions/affections that caused great repercussions. These actions (project) keep on a continuous research process.
PROPOSITION
Occupation of living spaces (public or not) and the integration evoked between the architecture and the people who pass through it. For one week, the artists from Coletivo Labirinto perform at so-called “places of action”, which stop being only scenery to become agents of performance, protagonists of this act. There is, therefore, no previous process of creation or a further presentation. What is proposed is that the creation process take place entirely at these living spaces and that it is freely open to the action and effect of their circumstances and of their passers-by; at the end of the week, the artists perform a closing ACTION/AFFECTION of their meetings with one another, with the space, and with the passers-by.
