A Performative Investigation
Some figures from the past refuse to stay buried. They resurface in the present, sometimes quietly, sometimes celebrated, unsettling the belief that history only moves forward. Who are these undead? Why do they regain influence, and how do they shape the world we inhabit?
During the HKW-project Global Fascisms the Shadow Museum and its audience trace in this participatory performance the subtle and not-so-subtle signs of fascism returning to everyday life. Through dialogue, imagination, and attentive looking, the performance explores how fear spreads and how gestures of resistance can shift the atmosphere around us.
The project reflects how young people perceive these persistent shadows and searches for ways to keep them from defining our future.
