In 1966, Peter Weiss gave the famous speech I Come Out of My Hiding Place at a conference in Princeton – in which he describes his journey from a kind of artistic withdrawal to an open political commitment. The contemporary poet Felicia Mulinari writes a poetics of curse, where curse and accusation are explored as a literary form to construct an aesthetics of resistance today. In the alternation between Weiss and Mulinari, Saga Gärde’s collage opens a space where questions of defeat, lack of resistance and responsibility can be articulated. The actors Etienne Glaser and Marika Lagercrantz, and their relationship to Weiss, raises the question of what it means to carry on a political theatre tradition. The work concludes with a conversation in which the audience is invited to participate.
