After MUTAT DE LA NOI and MANTAS, which I wrote thanks to a Moving Fireplaces grants in 2020 and 2023, my preoccupation/ obsession/ search goes further thanks to an ENERGIE! grant offered by the Timișoara Project Center.
EXILE (Faces of Uprootedness) will be presented/ performed/ screamed on November 3, at 2pm, at Pixel Club in Timișoara's Unirii Square.
A possible "TRILOGY of uprootedness" is thus foreshadowed.
.....
The monologue MUTAT DE LA NOI has slowly transformed, over the years, into a performance/ show. It has been performed in many strange spaces, and this year it was part of FNT.
.....
MANTAS is on hold for now/ but it's coming/ it must come/
.....
And now EXILE,
a string of confessions/
4 heroes who left their country/ family/ children/ and settled in Timisoara right in the year of the European Capital of Culture.
you will learn their story/ a tiny part of it.
That's if you come to Pixel Club on a Sunday on a wrong day at a wrong time.
At the request & choice of the non-paying audience there will be screenings of extremely harsh footage filmed in late 2020 when attempted civil protests in Uganda were brutally suppressed.
Incidentally we will talk about this, how Europe & the civilized world is sponsoring General Museveni's dictatorship under the guise of defending democracy & human rights.
Because that is what we do, isn't it? We talk & write projects about people's suffering.
