»Can I choose to be superficial and unapproachable?«
In her monologue, Fatima Çalışkan is fascinated by the boredom and superficiality of pop-cultural men’s literature from the nineties and finds her feminist answer by babbling.
Inspired by Christian Kracht’s novel »Faserland« and babbling podcasts with a male double cast, she explores the cliché of the young, West German academic who goes through life as a checker surrounded by status symbols and successes over a glass of champagne. In »Faserlandboys und Ich«, she scrutinises the pop-cultural zeitgeist of the turn of the millennium from a female, post-migrant perspective. Between bookshelves and piles of books, Fatima Çalışkan rambles back uninhibitedly, interweaves pop-cultural references and overwrites Kracht’s bestsellers with her voice and simply reviews her work herself in a literary quartet for the stage.
In her transdisciplinary work, Fatima Çalışkan develops political positions on biography and zeitgeist with a humorous and satirical approach. For the monologue »Faserland-Boys and I«, she draws on her own experiences of being pigeonholed by people into inappropriate orientalised categories and now turns the tables with relish.
ACCESSIBILITY
With audio-descriptive introduction also without audio description
accessible for blind/visually impaired audiences.
