“Nomadic Commune”A Performative Lecture by Keti Chukhrov
Penka Rare Books and Archives invites you to a performative lecture by Keti Chukhrov, which will survey her dramaturgical practice and touch on the obscenities of forced displacement, the rejection of benevolent empathy, and the aristocracy of the deprived. The evening will feature video excerpts from her play “Global Congress of Post-prostitution Theory” (Steirischer Herbst, 2019), the unmade films “Afghan-Kuzminki” (2010) and “Elpida” (2006-22), and the film-plays “Communion” (2016), “Love-machines” (2013), and “Undead” (2022). NOTE: Video excerpts include sensitive content that may not be suitable for children.
