After the showing of »Finite Jest,« ↗ we will talk about humor as a subversive stage strategy based on Melanie Jame Wolf’s artistic engagement with comedy, tragedy and death in the format of stand-up comedy. How does comedy function in times of crisis? Where is the border between a good joke and serious social issues? And who really laughs in the end?

Melanie Jame Wolf makes artworks, performances, and texts about power, persona, and the phenomenon of ‚show business‘: the liminal, the persuasive, the deceptive, the staged, and the performed in the political, the theatrical, and the everyday, Her work explores the radical vulnerability of the live moment and the body as an unruly political riddle. These investigations are expressed through a stylised aesthetic, uncanny shape-shifting, and play with language in surprising and humorous ways. Her work has been shown widely in Germany and internationally.
