Lola Arias
Care in documentary theatre
Workshop as part of the event series «Komplexität aushalten. Konflikte umsorgen. Kunst befragen»
Buenos Aires, Berlin
By confronting the experience of war, violence and oppression, the two festival artists Marta Górnicka and Lola Arias perform artistic conflict and care work. In two workshops on the first weekend of the festival, they provide insights into their working methods and show how biographies that reflect social and personal traumas can be narrated and shared – and how this narrating and sharing sometimes reveals survival strategies.
In her films and theatre plays, Lola Arias consistently works on the border between reality and fiction. Much of her material is based on the biographies of those involved. In this way, she brings political reality into the artistic space. This applies to her award-winning work with Falklands War veterans as well as her current project «Los dias afuera» with former inmates of an Argentinian women's prison, presented on the first weekend of the festival. In her workshop, she provides insights into her working methods, how she goes about finding themes and designing collective artistic processes that are based on practised care.
