BURG4S – An action-research on theatre-work in front of the stage

A sidejob as an usher at the Vienna Burgtheater is the starting point for a research: About my own role at the bottom end of the institutional hierachy of an „highcultural“ theatre, an analysis of the connections between the private security sector, cultural production and global migration. Furthermore it is an investigation about the status of the performative in the context of postfordist work and life realities beyond the fourth wall. And, last but not least, it is a process-oriented project about the incorporation of criticism into the representation of symbolical captial and therefore: A reflexion about the (im)posibilities of critical artistic production in a contemporary capitalist society.
