Event Details : 'Parallel Cities' Lecture and a multi-screen video presentation by Stefan Kaegi
How to export ideas without losing their impact? Can a festival ask global questions and get local answers?
Hotel rooms, shopping centres, factories... these are functional places, not usually thought of as interesting. They are found in every city, and they are what make cities inhabitable as such. These instantly recognisable places live parallel existences around the world, each modelled on similar rules but displaying a local face.
For 'Parallel Cities', Lola Arias and Stefan Kaegi invite artists to devise interventions in public spaces. As observation stations for situations, the projects make stages out of public spaces used every day, and seduce the viewers into staying inside that space long enough for their perception to change: Plays that make you subjectively experience places built for anonymous crowds.
Now Stefan Kaegi has come to India to prepare the upcoming India edition of 'Parallel Cities' and to present the project on four screens simultaneously in a synchronised video-lecture. This allows the audience to interact with the local stagings of portable ideas. The screening will be introduced and followed by a discussion with Stefan Kaegi.
