Dialectics of Erasure is a participatory lecture-performance by Palestinian-German artist-scholar Mudar Al-Khufash that invites you, the audience, to participate in unraveling the mechanism sustaining the everyday performance of settler colonialism.

This is an experiment.

Beginning outdoors. You are split into groups and guided through a series of real-time actions that invite you to shift your perspective and imagine lived realities under settler colonialism.

We then move indoors, where, through stage speech and digital imagery (extended reality), we collectively examine the positions you inhabit, within a system of displacement, complicity, and erasure.

The lecture-performance frames settler colonialism not as an event of the past, but an ongoing structure sustained through performative rules, routine, choreographed movements, and images that organize perception, behavior, and knowledge, structures in which we are all implicated.

A premiere of Mudar Al-Khufash’s participatory lecture-performance, based on previous Research and Developement in collaboration with BÉZNĂ Theatre, Claire Gilbert and Sînziana Cojocărescu.

Duration: 70 minutes | Age 18+
