SUMMARY:Interventions: Analphabetes
DESCRIPTION:Orig­i­nal­ly com­mis­sioned for a Cycladic island\, then restaged in the Tui­leries gar­dens\, Greek-born and Paris-based chore­o­g­ra­ph­er Lenio Kak­lea designed this piece as a response to phys­i­cal land­scape. Con­sist­ing of three dis­tinct lev­els of spec­ta­tor­ship — near\, far\, and very far away — the per­for­mance blends envi­ron­ment with chore­o­graph­ic image\, cre­at­ing a struc­ture that orga­nizes the audience’s visu­al expe­ri­ence. On Gov­er­nors Island\, the piece will be per­formed and reimag­ined by local dancers\, and built in direct response to its environment. Repeated at 2pm and 4pm.

SUMMARY:The Question of Unworthy Life
DESCRIPTION:Between 1939 and 1945\, Nazi genocide claimed the lives of nearly three hundred thousand people diagnosed with psychiatric illness or cognitive deficiencies. Not until the 1980s would these murders\, as well as the coercive sterilizations of some four hundred thousand others classified as “feeble-minded\,” be officially acknowledged as crimes at all. Dagmar Herzog’s new book The Question of Unworthy Life charts this history from its origins in prewar debates about the value of disabled lives to our continuing efforts to unlearn eugenic thinking today.
