The Killing of the First Person

By Nicolás Lange. «The Killing of the First Person» questions the speaking subject as the center of theater and identity. The Chilean author, director, and performer Nicolás Lange combines lecture performance and contemporary dance into a poetic examination of language, body, and memory. The starting point is his research into the persecution of homosexual and queer people in 15th-century Florence. The performance seeks forms of storytelling beyond confession and fixed identity – as a shared, mobile, and polyphonic language.
