“... a seemingly impossible duet ...” - video score based on COMEBACK
MAY 2020
The solo COMEBACK draws upon a drag performance that Tubi Malcharzik put on in the gymnasium of their elementary school. In a game of holding on tight to memories and fictionalization, a picture puzzle of queer childhood experiences comes into focus. The video score is not a recording of the original staging, but a possible translation into digital space. It invites viewers to synchronize and imagine a seemingly impossible duet which can never be captured in a photograph.
The video is divided into 3 parts and includes an interactive moment. This requires two different devices, such as a mobile phone and a laptop, to play video parts 2 and 3 in parallel. First, start with part 1 at 03:30 min.

The video score was created as part of the
Performing Arts Festival 2020 (Hebel am Ufer Theater, Berlin), was dramaturgically accompanied by Mateusz Szymanówka.
