{Abstract drag} {Post-migrant} {Family history}

Handle with care is a regular brut format, in which rehearsal processes are opened to create space for dialogue and exchange of views. Artists try out parts of their work in front of a small audience, receive feedback, and turn visitors into accomplices. In Handle with care selected by BEATE, artists or groups chosen by brut’s audience club BEATE, are each given the chance to do a two-week residency during brut’s imagetanz festival. In exchange, they open their working process to the audience towards the end of the rehearsal period.

Tubi Malcharzik & Komliz*innen – PASKUDNIK

Tubi Malcharzik & accomplices – PASKUDNIK (work in progress)

In PASKUDNIK, Tubi Malcharzik regards their own German-Polish family history from a queer perspective. Malcharzik found the title of the performance in their family’s memory, unable to figure out its meaning.

A post-migrant drag persona gets lost when crossing the borders between Germany and Poland, between the past and the present. In their work in progress PASKUDNIK, Tubi Malcharzik unfurls the German-Polish migration history backwards looking for ‘Paskudnik’. This word is a familiar but unsolved hole in the collective memory of Tubi Malcharzik’s family, moving somewhere between dining table, football match, parasite, and disgust; no one knows what it exactly means. The father has almost completely forgotten his native language. The grandfather can no longer be asked. One hundred years after the referendum in the border region of Upper Selesia and fifty years after the family’s arrival at the Friedland border camp in the Federal Republic of Germany, Tubi Malcharzik, together with Isabelle Edi and Zuzanna Zając, takes this concept as a starting point for their journey.

Tubi Malcharzik lives and works as a performer, dramaturge, and DJ in Vienna and Hanover. Based on their own biographical experiences, the main topics of Tubi Malcharzik’s solo performances and collective works include queer memory, abstract drag, the migration history between Germany and Poland, and seemingly impossible duets.

The artists were selected by brut’s audience club BEATE and supported with a research grant. BEATE is an initiative born in the context of Be SpectACTive!

Be SpectACTive! is a comprehensive European co-operation project co-funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme. It is active in the performing arts as it presents art productions and participatory practices with the aim of involving citizens and spectators in creative and organisational processes. Members include European festivals, theatres, cultural organisations, universities and one research centre.
