For the reactivation of the performance Augenmusik (Paris, 2016) twelve artists, poets, writers and whatever individuals will silently walk through of the city of Gent holding in their hands police emergency lights. They will trace 12 individual ways starting from 12 different locations in Gent (central points of 12 main neighbourhoods) and finally converge in one central point : the auditorium of the University of Gent (UFO).

 

Police emergency light, a strong signifier of state power and a signal of danger, is given into hands of an individual that holds it as a voice and responsibility. Weaving their pass alone but simultaneously all over the city, the performers create an alternative kind of public assembly. Through the ritual walking they transform topography into space of enunciation. The performance attempts for a poetic transformation of the status quo putting in tension political strength and means for individual liberation in specific socio-political context.
