" That day I photographed my mother who looked like Pina Bausch when she would cry. "
RAW EGGS is structured around an interview in which a transgender man is invited to join a private group, the Social Disaster Club. What begins as a formal interview gradually becomes a destabilised encounter where identity, institutional language and power relations are constantly negotiated. The performers sit at a table surrounded by basil plants, within a live installation that functions as both a domestic environment and a symbolic space of exposure, fragility and resistance. As the interview progresses, strange stories emerge and the apparent structure of evaluation begins to collapse. The interview unfolds through interruptions by the voice of Dr. M.J., music interventions, and shifts between documentary, fiction and disruptions of the interview format. The work engages with questions of identity, freedom, courage and the ways family structures become systems of judgement, recognition and belonging, combining original text with polyphonic songs and electronic compositions created specifically for the performance, alongside an installation-based set.
