Focusing on power dynamics within bureaucracy, this artistic investigation attempts to reveal the performative objectivity and inherent threat of violence.

Artists Karoline C. Holland, Denise Lim, and Armin Hokmi are interested in the false dichotomy between the public and the private, as well as the paradox that something as boring as bureaucracy can be associated with such intense emotions and taboos. Visually, they want to imitate the distinct aesthetics of formality, but also verbally - as they plan to “perform” legal text.

They will balance on a thin line between formality and taboo in a sensory role-play, which they call a “legal fiction”...

This workshop concludes the artists' one-week IN PROCESS residency leading up to the festival. The workshop consists of a presentation of physical material followed by a feedback conversation, where you are invited to contribute to the conversation about the artistic development work; a conversation carried by care and constructive feedback that allows art to sprout and grow.

This artistic research is a collaboration between dancer and choreographer Denise Lim, dancer, choreographer, and actor Armin Hokmi, and actor and performing artist Karoline C. Holland.
