On Work. Lecture by the Idiot

Submerge Festival, Lake Studios, Berlin, 08.17.2024 

Based on an original idea by William Ruiz Morales.

Lectures by The Idiot (series) are developed, composed, choreographed, and performed in collaboration with Kiko Faxas and Gabriela Burdsall.

In this lecture performance, we offer stories that won’t make people work harder. On Work is our way of navigating the question: What stories can we tell to escape, even for thirty minutes, the trauma of exploitation through wage labor? We present narratives aiming to disrupt stories that validate oppression through romanticizing work.
