Parallel to Brüder, zur Sonne, zur Freiheit, we will show the video installation «To perform» at the Festival Centre on Waisenhausplatz. Here the performers share their personal thoughts and anecdotes about their experiences on production floors and in seasonal jobs. While making repetitive hand gestures related to their working routines, they philosophise about the politics of labour.
