Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic*: LA HALUCA – A PIONEER GIRL

Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic* zeigt La Haluca – A Pioneer Girl. Die Arbeit ist Teil des Diskurs-Programms zur Ausstellung Projections Onto the East. Der Schinkel Pavillon bietet den Rahmen für diese Auseinandersetzung. Die Performance verbindet künstlerische Praxis mit theoretischer Reflexion. Es geht um die Verschränkung von Tanz, Performance und Diskurs. Die Atmosphäre ist avantgardistisch und auf inhaltliche Tiefe ausgelegt.

La Haluca (“The Pioneer Woman”) refers to a historical text by the Bosnian-Jewish writer Luna Laura Papo Bohoreta (1891–1942), which artist Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic* takes up in her performance. The Haluca emerges as a projection figure in which Jewish self-determination and feminist emancipation intertwine. Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic*’s performance takes up this figure of the Jewish woman as pioneer. Through selected biographies of individuals widely known today, the work brings renewed attention to Jewish history in the Yugoslav region – a history overwritten by the Shoah, by the memory politics of socialist Yugoslavia, and by the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, and one that remains, to this day, only tenuously part of collective memory in the region and beyond.\n\nProjections Onto the East is a project by n.b.k. in cooperation with the Schinkel Pavillon, conceived by Fabian Bechtle and Leon Kahane.
