he's dead / he's dead / i've shot him in the head (30 mins)

If there is no such thing as the important, it is important that that which is unimportant - i.e. everything - is not made important. For if the unimportant - everything - is made important, then the unimportant is no longer unimportant.

"Their work incarnates a very rare and exciting mode of live performance which is at once art and entertainment [...] enlivened by a relentless openness to risk." (Cambridge Literary Review, Easter 2010)

john hurts [from idiot] at the Edinburgh Fringe

8-14 August 2011, 8.15pm
The Annexe (at The Vault)
Venue 29
11 Merchant Street, Edinburgh
http://johnhurts.blogspot.com
http://www.edfringe.com

unintelligible demystifying piece to last forty-five minutes. neither very theatrical, nor audible, nor particularly important. certainly idealistic though. and quick. too quick some might say.

A discrepant piece of minimalist theatre after both Konrad Bayer's 1960 text 'idiot' and the writings of Simone Weil, john hurts [from idiot] is a theatre essay undermined. Audiences have thrown it everything from belly laughter to abuse - certainly it asks for effort and attention. john hurts [from idiot] is political, ridiculous and, if you like, difficult; but whether you find the critical in its idiocy or vice versa, it is a delicate little fart of a piece.

_Distract_
(abstract / argument)

"Violence of heart and spirit strikes vile terror,
but violence lost from action is terror pell-mell
and more than utterly ruinous.
Finest Work!"

I am already inside the work which contains my death.
Is there a time when I am outside of this work and apprehend its entire form? To

durationmaterial: person clothed / naked / masked / unmasked / barefoot / shod / in light / in dark / speaking / silent / amplified / unamplified / recorded / unrecorded / in movement / still / remembering / forgetting / working / not working. Acting! - 'doing' (but for sustained durations with AUTHENTIC SPEECH!) Performing! - exertion, exhaustion, evacuate. Occupy. Bequeath. Dialogue Music? live + recording <5> x 2. Spontaneous (prepared and otherwise) confessions, professions, childhoods, agings e.g.: 'I am 35 years old' or 'When I was 10 years old I wrote a play entitled "Shit! I'm an actor!"

For an act (of distraction)
is not constituted
merely by (distracting)
the physical movements
of the actor (distracted):
it gains
its identity (distract)
via its location
in a conceptual world.

(And it is this world
which has broken down)

Pathetic expression of nostalgia

P O E T
(emblazoned on forehead):
One who could take up the past and
-rather than use it for nostalgia
or ersatz mimesis-
project it into vibrant new
ways to live and
to be.

(Here by 'poet' is meant
the broadest sense of
a creative maker
of meaningful space)

I am already inside the work which contains my death.
Was there a time when I was outside of this work and apprehended its entire form? You

john hurts [from idiot]

Lisa Jeschke and Lucy Beynon have been working together since 2007. They are based in Berlin.

Beschimpfung

Peter Handke's Publikumsbeschimpfung (1966) works like a machine. When during one of the first few performances, some audience members climbed the stage and were chased down by the still young but already autocratic director Claus Peymann, it did not jar with, but, on the contrary, made perfect and necessary sense within the relentless play-ness of the play. The audiences are heard, but the performers must keep going (almost, but not exactly) like a machine as the piece precisely does not aim for equality or negotiation, but for a clash between audiences and performers. The idea is not to transcend the political structure of a performer/audience divide; it is to sediment it.
