Rebels Rise, Ridicule Reigns, Power Cries - As Carnival Flames - Bauhaus Module SoSe25
with Anil Aydinoglu
The Class explores different forms of resistance and resilience through Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of the carnivalesque. It examines how humour, irony, grotesque imagery, and absurdity become tools to challenge hierarchical structures and oppressive power dynamics, ranging from figures of authority to political systems, from everyday social norms to global corporate control.
Students will investigate the potential of the carnivalesque in everyday life, public space, and artistic practices, focusing on inverting hierarchies and creating alternative narratives in which resistance can be performed, moving beyond conventional methods to embrace playful and subversive strategies.
New Media Dramaturgy – for Physical Performative Spaces
The course final output will be a collaborative, interactive and performance bridging physical and digital spaces to create a shared experience. This final, hybrid group performance will be staged at the Zoenoteka project space, a symbiotic project and production space for innovative encounters located in the heart of Neukölln Berlin.
Designed for artists, designers, performers, and creative coders, this course provides conceptual and practical tools for working with (interactive) media in the performing arts.
