Hosting of the feminist performance collectiv “la fêlure”
x-tractor hosts la fêlure for the adaptation of the performance “hystérie”. They play the performance in Wiesenburg, April 2021
An initial collaboration began before the residency with the translation of the performance texts. Traum_A and Blandine Casen, both linguists and translators, one a native German speaker, the other a native French speaker, were involved in the project.
Together with S.C.E.N.E.5, x-tractor was in charge of all executive production for the duration of the project. They used their contacts in Berlin to find a place of residence (Wiesenburg), accommodation, a cook, and took care of the transport of the artists and the equipment…
The members of x-tractor were also called in to provide an outside perspective on this new creation/adaptation. Finally, x-tractor was responsible for promoting the artistic work in Berlin. The association informed and invited a wide audience to the two performances organised in Wiesenburg. Both were very well received.
