ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DRAMA

"I suggest that the show gives a good opportunity to look at the state of satire, not only in art, but western culture at large in this particular neoliberal moment gone amok and facing political repercussions. The emergence of ''bullshit jobs'' (Aug 17, 2013 - On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber) and the plight of the freelancer come into play, as a kind of protagonist in the neoliberal regime. What is interesting about the show is that like a broad comedy, it speaks in generality and platitudes to achieve sincerity and heart. The ability to make everything into a joke is offset by the labor, performance (Leistung) and time-commitment that is put into the work.

Below is a short description of the show by the artists:
The show “Another Day, Another Drama” is a horse jumping course that takes you through a groundhog day. Each obstacle is a sculpture that represents the daily grind, everything from your morning shower to the not-so-pleasant drunken taxi ride home. The horse portraits can be read both as the horses competing in the show jumping and as extras in the story that unfolds."
