International Competition 1: (not) A Labour of Love
Institute of Contemporary Arts
Maria Schneider, 1983, dir. Elizabeth Subrin, France 2022, 25 min.


Dividing labour in an already biased ecosystem, performing becomes no longer a duty of pleasure, but acted out of necessity. The extraction of energy is fundamentally physical when meeting imposing expectations and demands. In 1983, French actress Maria Schneider gives an interview for the TV show Cinéma Cinémas, and decades later, a performer interprets Mary Wigman’s 1926 performance piece Hexentanz.
Programme:

Starfuckers, dir. Antonio Marziale, USA 2021, 14 min.
Persona, dir. Manon de Boer, Belgium 2022, 32 min.
Maria Schneider, 1983, dir. Elizabeth Subrin, France 2022, 25 min.
