blessed be the rage of your flesh

festival: lectures | readings | performances | music

two festival evenings on 4 and 5 october 2019, always 8 p.m.
venue: schauspielhaus, porzellangasse 19, 1090 vienna

after the affects "laughing" and "crying", this time we dedicate our annual literature and music festival at schauspielhaus wien to the politically most precarious surge of emotion: anger. and its closest affective relation: rage.
according to the american literature scholar morse peckham art possesses "no reality, no truth, no value, it is nothing but a construct, because it is only a signal". however, this is exactly why art has "all freedoms". without hysterical enforcement we would like to position peckham's paradoxical conclusion: against the wrath of the crowd and their instigators, against furious capitalism and its proclaimers of salvation. because we, as well as these excellent participants, are also furious:
johannes ullmaier, stefanie sargnagel, antonio fian & julia reichert's kabinettteater & sfd-anger-and-rage-class, the brute-band gewalt, lydia haider, oswald wiener, natascha gangl & maja osojnik.
what is still valid: "anger is an energy" (john lydon, formerly johnny rotten).
