Tingyi Jiang - Make It Fit , A Life Script (English)

Over de voorstelling

This parody of authoritarian speech is repeated over and over until a personal vulnerability seeps through the mask of satire: How to fit in a way that escapes fitting in? How to carve space for the security and comfort that fitting in brings?

Make It Fit - A Life Script constructs an ordinary yet contrived situation. Blending forms, like: reality show, memory reenactment, speech, collective reading and artist talk, to embrace the ambiguity of fitting—and failing to fit in. The enacted script becomes a live negotiation between language, performance and power.

The audience is scripted to build, read and sing together—as an imaginary one—to examine how language performs us, and how we perform through language, by anatomizing the internalized life script of Make it fit.
