Abstract:The performative intervention is articulated both through spoken word as well as in physical (re)presentation of the body in situ. Along the ELO 2022 programme we select and remix fragments in a way that corresponds to the principles of Bertolt Brecht's " Lehrstücke,“ the so called learning or teaching pieces that deconstruct and expose the mechanisms of (power) relationships inherent to the (media/art educational ) system in question. The participants and audiences are invited to comment upon the intervention, opening a space of (self)reflexive interaction among all the involved people, and perhaps machines as well. The focus is on eLit /ELO production and dissemination conditions as related to (if not limited by) the presented aesthetics and mechanics, the narratives and poetics exposed. Provoking both rational and emotional perspectives of the ELO 2022 community, possibilities of (un)learning through acting, playing roles, adopting postures etc. are explored, dissolving (or at least questioning) the divide between authors and audiences, both invited (in Brechtian terms) to acquire attitudes rather than to consume an entertainment. The challenge at ELO 2022 would also consist of surpassing Brecht's principles as e.g. derived by the Brasilian director Zé Celso and his Theatre of Discovery, or Augusto Boal's Forum Theatre that abolished the division between actors and audiences who were invited to actively intervene in the discourse presented, a collective experiment and search for solutions to social (and in this case aesthetical and poetical) issues at hand. With no actor audience separation, the emphasis on performance shifts upon the process, rather than the final product be it the artwork itself, or theoretical discourse about and around it.
