Beskrivning av projektet
Sede da Juventude Cansada was enacted at Casa da Imagem Contemporânea (Gaia; PT). Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the enactment could not welcome public attendance. The performative reading took place with the 9 readers of the script only and documented in video. The forum element of the project remains unrealized.
Different intellectuals and artists contributed with questions for this forum: Karin Hansson, Dave Beech, Nina Power, Fernando José Pereira, Glenn Loughran, Oli Mould, Maria Cristina Franco Ferraz, Nuno Guedes and Nuno Ramalho.
The project seeks to be an artistic contribution to the discussion and imagination of alternatives to neoliberal debasement. The underlying question of the script concerns subjectivity in a post-work society: if work is one of the default attributes of identity, how would the disappearance of work affect how subjects perceive themselves, existentially and politically?
