I’m.potent
(2024)
I’m.potent is a playful attempt to spark an on-stage dialogue around a complex reality: finding work as a newcomer.
Sandra Sara Raes Oklobdzjia dissects the job market through personal testimonies and rehearsed job interviews. What began as a living room monologue with Playmobil figures evolved – thanks to extensive research – into a dialogical rollercoaster.
An unconventional documentary performance: inspired by Sartre’s No Exitand Chekhov’s The Bet, blending various performance styles and artistic forms, balancing between light-hearted girl-power scenes and the harsh reality faced by (migrant) women and artists.
I’m.potent is part of Raes Oklobdzjia’s artistic trajectory The School of Two-Sided Integration.
