When regarding performance and its relation to documents, we notice a broad range of approaches by artists and researchers: reconsideration and reactivation of performance history, transfer of live events into other media, accessibility of a space- and time-related practice, questions of authorship and spectator, but also transmission of recent history and knowledge through performative practices, and a need to constantly re-dis…cuss the possibilities of performative practices.
Performing Memory focuses on performance as a mediation tool, for history, for knowledge, and the use of documents within performances as an activation of critical and political qualities. The document, considered rather as an active production with a specific intention than as an object, is central to this proposal. The document, may it derive from historical performances, from present discussions, or future possibilities, is anchored on the now. In a non-linear comprehension of history, it is an appropriation of memory, a transfer to the present and a reference to the future. Within this conception of history the document cannot be a proof for anything that had happened like that, but a tool to be interpreted in a responsible way towards the previous context and performers.
