WIR SPIELEN (WE PLAY)
The Peoplemover 1968 2013
WIR SPIELEN (WE PLAY) is an artistic investigation on the topic of collectivities and the significance of the pronoun “we”. Throughout a series of events in 2013 a variety of textual material was produced and compiled. The text took the shape of a theater play and is published in this book.
Furthermore, the book contains the reference piece „The Peoplemover – A Demonstration Poem (1968)“ by Mary Ellen Solt. What is “we”? What would “we” do? Is collective work still a political standpoint? A marketing strategy? A failed project? A necessity for our survival? How would a demonstration poem look like today?
