Lines draw the space, electronic flashing clocks the atmosphere, 10 women meet each other in the total institution. They act self-directedly next to each other. Or we witness their conversation and cannot eavesdrop. It’s not about their liberation but about the correspondence of images. go plastic has been working on film art for years, on the expectations that consuming pop culture leaves in us. This is also the case in WE’RE USED TO BEING DARKER. The characters – stripped of their plot – perform and caricature themselves.
While in other go plastic productions a character camps out on stage, this time it’s different: on the couches of the bowling alley bar, on stage, we, the audience, sit. Who is judged, who is condemned, who is free?
WUTBD is about images of women and the expectations placed on these figures, and of course I, as the viewer, place myself in relation to them: a mutual game of projection takes place.
WUTBD is a collaborative work and as such a social experiment. And how much this encounter has been worthwhile I notice in the vibrating memory of the individual artistic signatures that became recognizable that evening.
