Synopsis:
An African Bayreuth? An Opera in Burkina Faso?
Christoph Schlingensief, the German film, theatre and opera director had a vision for an opera village in Africa. Despite cancer, he made trips to Burkina Faso, such was his devotion and conviction. "Crackle of Time" tells the story of the impossible project: To build an opera village in Burkina Faso, a space combining art and life, with a school, theatre, hospital, living quarters, a football field, a lunchroom. Schlingensief wanted everything what it needs to live and survive. Everything in one place. From the initial location search in May 2009 and the Groundbreaking in February 2010 to the emergence of the school the documentary take us up close to the german artist Christoph Schlingensief and his architect Diébédo Francis Kéré who originally comes from Burkina Faso. But then everything changed.
Christoph Schlingensief died in August 2010.
Death played a role from now on. After a period of stillstand the team of the opera village went on. The documentary get behind the vision of the 'opera village' and witness the struggles and hurdles. In October 2011 the school could celebrate its opening.
Last year Christoph Schlingensief was posthumously awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale for his stage installation, "fluxus oratorium -- church of fear" in the German pavilion.

Language: English
Christoph Schlingensief and other theatre and performance artists have often been explained with the construction of provocation: you aim for a specific reaction of the opponent, the enemy or the public by using certain stimuli which always do the trick, to make them want you to shut up. But shuting up making someone to shut up, censorship in general is only a small part of a larger mechanism: the minimization of discourse, the reduction of the vocabulary - not seen from the perspective of a rich, expressive subject or a lively, public debate, but form the persective of the richness of discourse itself, indenpendently of a possible usage of this richness, before and beyond the exploitation of discourse. In this talk Diedrich Diederichsen describes Schlingensief not so much as someone who aims for certian reactions and results, but as someone who aimed for an enlargement of discourse, without calculating with any instrumental results or legitmizing his project by its results.
