b/w*itch:
Practical_Spell

Performative city tour

2021 audiowalk Freie Szene Bremen
Su
Available until SUN April 25
Tours are accessible for wheelchairs. Have some paper, pen and chalk with you.

In the project ›Practical_Spell‹, the queer-feminist performance collective b/witch* deals with language as a medium of power relations. Language inscribes itself—in bodies, cities, street names, bridges, squares, modes of assembly. After a two-week residency at the Schwankhalle, b/w*itch invites us to digital and analog SPELL_Walks. In performative city tours, we can follow their tracks and encounter projections of words and word fragments, performative interventions that intersect with the tour, and listen to queer speech activism. ›Practical_Spell‹ makes reference to unheard-of squares, with FLINTA* guiding us securely through the streets and bewitching familiar perspectives.

How does it work?

On Saturday, April 10, from 2-5 p.m., tour tickets can be collected at the Schwankhalle (courtyard/Peter-Zadek-Platz). The tickets have a QR code with additional content that can be accessed via smartphone. You can go on the tour alone or in a corona-compatible group.

TALK AFTER WALK
At 8 p.m., b/witch* invites the participants to a debriefing and exchange via Zoom. A smartphone and headphones are needed to participate. Registration until April 10, 7 pm at: anmeldung@schwankhalle.de (An email without text is sufficient, you will receive an automatic reply).
