Security Theater: A talk by Oliver Zahn at YPAM Fringe Center
2024-08-27
Berlin-based artist Oliver Zahn, who took part in the online roundtable “DISASTER EXCHANGE” at YPAM2023, is currently conducting research in Japan for his new project. He will give an interim report and introduce his past work at the YPAM Fringe Center on 5 September (Thursday).
SECURITY THEATRE
German theatre maker Oliver Zahn creates choreographic performance essays that often revolve around historiography and the politics of remembrance.
He is currently in the process of preparing a series of works under the title "security theater", referring to performative practices that center on creating a *feeling* of security in the face of uncontrollable events. For this project he is, among other things, conducting research on disaster prevention practices in Europe, North America and Japan.
In this public talk, Zahn, along with collaborators Felizitas Stilleke and Dennis Dita Kopp will present their past work as well as their current research.
