The Dark Administrator (Svartadministratören) is a performative lecture on bureaucracy and resistance. With the office workplace as the starting point, the work examines contemporary human beings’ heavy addiction to systematizing everything around them.
The work is a documentary collage of examples, stories, and demonstrations in which an everyday frustration linked to feelings of powerlessness and loss of meaning unfolds. Various forms of ritual protective measures are presented and an alternative professional role slowly emerges from the shadows, accompanied by apocalyptic tones composed by musician Dödsvarg (Jon Ekström).
The work is performed at Kulturhuset in Stockholm on Saturday 18 April at three occasions: 19:00, 20:30 and 22:00. The performance is in Swedish
