Are you a con artist or do you just have imposter syndrome? Do people without imposter syndrome feel like they’re faking it because everyone else has imposter syndrome? When everything is fake (truth, law, nation) and built on distrust, when conforming means lying, then fraud becomes an act of resistance. Learning to get by, means learning to survive. Give me a fish, and I’ll eat for a day. Give me a crash course in document forgery, and maybe the welfare office won’t cut my benefits.
In their special session as part of the 13th Berlin Biennale, the reading performance collective parallelgesellschaft focuses on the business of deception and discusses the pros and cons of lying. Guest musician Shadore brings real rap from Neukölln. And, as always, there will be forgery-proof texts and songs from the ensemble. This time featuring: Armeghan Taheri, Jacinta Nandi, Ken Yamamoto, Miedya Mahmod, Ralph Tharayil, Tanasgol Sabbagh, and Temye Tesfu.
