Mirjam Walter and Julia Hainz
The text of the performance "I, A HYPHEN" is an excerpt from the drama “Irritations in Life in the Human Body”. In this piece various figures have their say.
The performance deals with the (re-)production of violence through hegemonic language and poses the question of whether poetic / painterly or physical expression can counteract the injuries caused by language. In doing so, the performers do not take the self, or themselves, too seriously.

Marie-Agnes Smyrne vomits the forty-seven oranges she swalllowed whole for a bet. They fall from her mouth one by one, strings of saliva accompany them.*

We know that gods are not fixed entities.
We know that gods change, move, fade and inflame.
We know that gods are being created!
We also roughly know how.
For the creation of God Namor, three people met in several performances of a combative nature. Love, rhymes, illness, dance, bread - concepts and symbols like these were used to shape Namor's insignia.
