Bildwechsel Glasgow presents….
Working On It
Sabina Baumann, Karin Michalski, Switzerland, 2008, 50mins, German with English subtitles.
conversations * performances * queer electronics
A group of Berlin-based artists gather to explore how perceptions of gender and sexual identity are constructed and ask, “What happens when you don’t or wont fit firmly into one box or the other?” The 15 protagonists show images, make performances, play queer electronics and talk about queer strategies in the field of sexual politics.

“animals in literature are freer than human beings from restricting laws of time and place. no prejudices intervene in the comfortable identification with an animal endowed with human properties.” dick bruna
the project LIVING OUTSIDE consists of fragments of my theatre plays: text + songs.
LIVING OUTSIDE is an experiment which tries to bring the private world of a playwright onto a stage. I decided to translate fragments of my plays into english creating a performance / staged reading with me as a writer on-stage, reading from my plays and singing the songs I made for them. CHUECA exposes the vulnerability of two women living on the margin of gender-norms. PARTIR y RENUNCIAR is a play about the conflict between traveling versus staying. this work suggests that wherever you go you always take everything with you.
the set is a representation of nature. a landscape where I will transform into a weird version of myself, maybe I am an animal. I take my room into nature. I want to be exposed. also, I am outside to emphasize the vulnerability of transgender identities, a theme present in all my plays.
