A Collective Arrangement of 18 minutes
Manuscript for a play, video.
The piece came out of the idea of making a bodily re-enactment of two literary works. David Harvey’s ’Spaces of Hope’, 2000 and Charles Fourier’s ’Stammefællesskabet’, 1889. The manuscript combines the appendix in Harveys book ’Spaces of Hope’ with that of Fourier’s utopian vision for a collective society dated in the late 1900 century. A society in which the members experiment with the nuclear family structure, sexual behaviour, child rearing, living arrangements, economy and social forms of engagements.
