Do zadnjega

xx ABONMA SIMONA SEMENIČ

Slovenija / 2018
Performans v trajanju, premiera

Do zadnjega je trajnostni performans dramatičarke in performerke Simone Semenič, na katerem bo javno prebrala svoj celoten dramski opus in tako pisavi zagotovila svoj prekaren glas.

Simona Semenič je dramatičarka, ki je v slovenskem prostoru s svojo pisavo drastično spremenila notacijsko formo dramske pisave, izumljala nove dramske tehnike ter jim z ambivalentnim razmerjem med dramskim in dramatesinim glasom, ki se večkrat prepleteta do nerazvidnosti, in z legami metadramske govorice zagotovila korpus, pri katerem se bralka (raba spola je generična) ne more znebiti občutka, da jo jezik nagovarja telesno; ali rečeno natančneje: da je njen dramski jezik telo. Besedila Simone Semenič s svojo transdramsko ali transliterarno formo delujejo na trenutke monstruozno: generirajo prezenco, ki jo percipiramo kot prisotno, a vendarle radikalno drugost, ki se s svojo organskostjo izmika redu reprezentacije, četudi uporablja semiotičen instrument.

Prav zaradi tega se branje tega korpusa lahko razume kot dejanje, ki temu jeziku zagotavlja njegov medijski original: telo.

Naslov performansa Do zadnjega lahko pomeni neko vrsto prečiščevalnega rituala: do zadnjega gledalca, do zadnjega besedila, do zadnjega smisla, do zadnje želje, do zadnjega atoma moči … Nenazadnje gre za proces, s katerim bi si akumulirani čas rigidnih kulturnih in družbenih kodov ponovno zagotovil delček prihodnosti.

To Last
SIMONA SEMENIČ  

xx SIMONA SEMENIČ SEASON

Slovenia / 2018
A durational performance, premiere

To Last, a durational performance by the playwright and performer Simona Semenič, is her public reading of her complete works, ensuring the writing to be heard in her precarious voice.

Simona Semenič is a playwright whose writing has drastically changed the written play form in Slovenia; she invented new drama techniques and provided them with an ambivalent relationship between the voice of the drama and the voice of the playwright, which often intertwine and conceal their source, as well as with meta-dramatic speech to establish a corpus. The reader of this corpus cannot escape the feeling that the language speaks to her (generic gender usage) in a bodily manner; to be more precise: that Semenič’s drama language is body. The trans-drama or trans-literary form of her texts can at times be seen as monstrous: they generate a presence that we perceive as a present yet radical otherness, which is so organic that it escapes the order of representation, despite using a semiotic instrument.

This is why the reading of her corpus can be understood as an act that ensures that the language is given its original medium: the body.

The performance title, To Last, symbolizes a certain cleansing ritual: to the last viewer, to the last text, to the last meaning, to the last wish, to the last atom of strength … And finally, it is a process through which the accumulated time of rigid cultural and societal codes will regain a piece of the future.
