Functieomschrijving

KillJoy is a performance quiz dealing with our reading strategies and biases, addressing how multiple forms of violence are made possible through the use of language. Which dominant discourses do we all maintain, consciously or unconsciously? How does language seduce our thinking collectively and individually? How do we position ourselves on key issues such as misogyny, racism, migration, economic imperialism, education, gender equality, ecology...? The cunning multiple-choice questions in this production mercilessly expose a number of our preconceptions.

Profiel

We are looking for this profile: You are a woman of color. You are willing to be on stage with five other women of color and help dismantle the racist ideology that women of color do not produce knowledge. You are an avid reader and can comment fiercely on the content you read. Your English is very good. You don’t have to be a native speaker but be able to use grammar correctly. Accents very welcome! You have a good sense of humor. If you are queer, that’s a plus! If you know how to sing and dance, also a plus!
