“1 poor and one 0”. BADco

On a screen on one side of the room is the first scene in film history: Workers Leaving The Lumière Factory in Lyon (Louis Lumière, 1895): workers leaving the factory as the audience enter the theatre. While the actors develop the manifold forms of dissolution of the working subject before the audience, we see him or her gradually transformed in popular film through to populist political theatre. Theatre is exhausted in images of movement, images exhausted in the theatre of movement. A change of perspective.

1 poor and one 0 (2008) will take place in AlhóndigaBilbao’s CAC2. The event is part of the programme of activities for EL CONTRATO, a collaborative project between Bulegoa z/b and AlhóndigaBilbao running between 2 October 2014 and 11 January 2015.
