Words are the joint elements of this manifold programme: spoken word poetry, subtitles out of sync, banners and text plates, puns and associations.  always comical, sometimes satirical, even cynical the films and videos touch on subjects rooted in our everday society. We hear about the overtightened efficiency of delivery services, listen to the confessions of an ex-US president and his lover, read messages feeding on the black lives matter movement and watch the pompous political ritual of a royal speech reduced to its conventional clichés. Gender perfomance and relations, toxic masculinity and raciscm, powerlessness and self empowerment are topics that are being tackled in sharpened wordings.

the programm is part of the exhibition »Kay Rosen. NOW AND THEN« at Museum Weserburg, Bremen
