On the occasion of Spätschicht x İÇ İÇE Festival, Gropius Bau’s Waiting Room will be temporarily transformed into a comedy club, hosting Jokes, Stand-up Comedy by artist Mila Panić.
Mila Panić has developed a distinctive practice drawing on linguistic and performative elements of stand-up comedy. Influenced by her experience of growing up amid the collapse of socialist Yugoslavia and the racist ethno-nationalist violence and forced displacement of the Bosnian War, dark humor becomes a tool for her. She uses it to address histories and topics that dominant society suppresses, taboos or censors. In doing so, the artist´s work challenges the status quo of discourse and collective memory. Panić´s performances create a space where individual narratives intersect with broader social realities, and past and present political events converge.
Note:
The performance includes strong language and touches on sensitive themes such as racism and other forms of violence.
During the event, photographs and video recordings may be made in which you may be recognisable. By attending, you consent to these recordings being used to communicate the event or exhibition.
