ANTONIA BAEHR
EXIT
© Elodie Grethen
Antonia Baehr dedicates her work to an ever-present but mostly overlooked phenomenon of western theatre buildings: the obligatory illuminated emergency exit signs. Like many theatre artists, she has also made continuous efforts to suppress this “visual noise” that makes a real blackout impossible. Here, however, she makes them the stars of her lecture performance.
EXIT takes us into a sphere between light and dark, where the green glow confronts us with the supposedly fixed oppositions of “inside” and “outside”, “safety” and “danger” or “body” and “image”. It is a dream journey through the things that theatre tries to repress and the phantasm of the Western image of humanity it has helped to create.
