EXORCISM - A Public Confessional (2020)

📅

26.06.2020

09.-10.04.2021

📍

Thessaloniki Queer Arts Festival

WE PRESENT #19 @ LICHTHOF Theater

Three performers meet at an AIDS gala. They all bring a secret with them. They want to talk, but no one says anything. Instead of champagne, only smarties. An alarm clock rings. The search for clues begins.

EXORCISM explores the performativity of coming-out processes as well as the non-linear process of dealing with the untold, the unfinished, the unrevealed. EXORCISM shows inner preparations for confessions and in doing so poses the question: What content(s) are we potentially ashamed of sharing in front of a community? The presence of the untold starts growing the moment the three performers decide to speak it out - leading up to an explosion, an exorcism, a transformative confession.
