2019, performance
S.C.H.U.U.L.E. is a performance by Susann Maria Hempel and Cássio Diniz Santiago set in a classroom, where twelve professors impart unconventional
knowledge, which is normally not captured by any framework: they gain it from living with “a disability”. The audience is invited to take the place of the
students and to participate in a performative lesson that “returns to us an image in which we are not recognizable to ourselves”. (Maniglier, 2005)
Professors: Katharina Gypser, Josefine Kappert, Madlen Schädelich, Tania Schuster, Katja Springer, Sandy Stölzel, Horst Kirchner, Bertram Kohlstedt,
André Künzel, Olaf Müller, Robert Nawroth, Ronny Stölzel.
Premiere 11. and 12.5.2019, AGORA ARTES, work presentation JUNGE AKADEMIE 2019, Akademie der Künste, Pariser Platz
