La Salve is a critical writing project by La Bellone performing arts space in Brussels, Belgium. Led by dramaturge Arnaud Timmermans, it moves away from ‘criticism’ towards ‘criticality’ (following Irit Rogoff’s essay ‘From Criticism to Critique to Criticality’) to find freer and more reflexive approaches to written engagement with art works.
For this collaboration, Springback writers partnered with writers from La Salve. Following introductory talks and discussions, we all saw the performance Yet, Light, you are Blind by Loucka Fiagan, presented at Théâtre La Balsamine. Each writer then wrote their own response, and gave editorial feedback to their partner writer, before the texts were published in La Salve #15.
The participants were Marta Buggio, Oonagh Duckworth, Caroline Godart, Zee Hartmann, Marwane Lakhal, Sanjoy Roy, Arnaud Timmermans and Yasen Vasilev
