Marta Górnicka
Giving a voice. Dealing with violence and armed conflict in (performing) art
Workshop as part of the event series «Komplexität aushalten. Konflikte umsorgen. Kunst befragen»
Warsaw
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.
With her choral theatre, Marta Górnicka has found a very specific, powerful theatrical language as well as a form for speaking about violence on stage in order to negotiate things for which we lack language and psychological tools. In her latest production «Mothers. A Song for Wartime», she has given a voice to Ukrainian women to also talk about sexual violence in the current war with Russia. In her workshop «Giving a voice», Marta Górnicka shares her working practice with the audience and shows how complicated trauma work and the overcoming of unreconciled political conflicts can become conceivable through art.
