>> From Camp to Manoeuvre <<
Fred Büchel (actor, director: Fritzpunkt. Büro für theatralische Sofortmaßnahmen) and Ulrich Beckefeld (architect: osa)
Staging Condesing involves the intersection of the camp with public space. Martin Wassermaier presents a short film about the occupation of Karlsplatz by a media-camp. As an active platform within an independent cultural approach and practice of media, the media-camp wanted to make the Karlsplatz central point of a new protest movement. For some theatrical-performative projects that started to stage camp-like patterns in Vienna last winter, Staging Condesing gives the opportunity to present and evaluate not only those projects in a retrospective way such as the urbanistic choreographic Palais Donaustadt by the Theaterkombinat with included theory-camp and In deinem Lager ist Österreich (In Your Camp is Austria), a project about Marianne Fritz by the Stadttheater Wien (Vienna City Theatre) and the pedagogical relic of the Childs City. In addition to that, Claudia Bosse (Theaterkombinat), Fred Büchel (Stadttheater Wien/ Vienna City Theatre) and the architect Ulrich Beckefeld (office for subversive architecture osa), who has a working cooperation with Büchel, show the process of their works. It reaches from besiegement a project about Melvilles Barthleby in Hebbeltheater HAU, Berlin 2004 to camping on the Danube ledge (Bosse) and leads then away from the camp to manoeuvre, a mass-reading of Marianne Fritz novel Naturgemäß I (Naturally I), which exceeds 1000 pages. Büchel and Beckefeld compile a visual installation of pocket-camps that comprise miniatures of stills and microarchitecture. This field of attention is joined by Ilse Chlans film about the pedagogical experiment of Childs City, where children were offered a more or less isolated camp for a first practise in urban social behaviour in the spirit of the seventies.
