Repair

Repair takes place in a tv studio during repetitions for a talk show. The director, guests and musicians play out a script based on spontaneous events, conversations and educational tv shows. The starting point of the performance is a character called the ‘joykiller’, a feminist concept coined by Sara Ahmed to indicate a person not living according to conventions that should lead to happiness and satisfaction. By doing this, a joykiller opens the door to new possibilities. Angelica Falkeling wrote the script and performs it together with Ash Kilmartin. Artist and filmmaker Erika Roux acts as the director, Nika is the musician.
