stadt: mur.eck

Mureck/town/market-town/village: a search for a city, an urban survey? Where is the core town, where is the periphery – the riverside zone – moving to. The writer-in-residence in monthly exile as a pilot project of future writers-in-residence, like visual asylum-seekers. The documentary aspect of the text and its adaptation is related in an unprejudiced way from the point of view of the encounter with Mureck and its inhabitants.

What town is? What is expected from within itself? The expectant view from the border area into the town, etc. The writer-in-residence’s video camera supports his work, translating what language devours.

Insights into these episodes form the stage base for the set pieces: text/video condition a new definition of the disused museum in the town. The museum as a venue. Two performances for steirischer herbst: the text/production guides visitors around the designed rooms. The focus is on the monthly chronicle, that will be staged by a theatre group.
