Abstract

The author seeks an answer to the question of whether the 50-year post-gravity theatre project Noordung::1995â2045 by the Slovenian theatre director Dragan Å½ivadinov (1960â) and his collaborators, visual artists Dunja ZupanÄiÄ and Miha TurÅ¡iÄ, can be described as a particular avant-garde politics of time. Using the concept of the Â»politics of time,Â« which refers to the temporal structure of social practices in their pursuit of change (Osborne), we discuss the temporality of the avant-garde in accordance with ruptural time (BenjaminÊ¼s Â»now-timeÂ«) in its tension with the historical continuity of time. The text outlines the ways in which the consideration of time is an essential part of Å½ivadinovâs work, particularly in his attention to the legacy of the so-called Â»historical avant-gardeÂ« in relation to utopianism (especially in Suprematism and Constructivism) and the pursuit of the future utopian moment of the Â»absolute now.Â« To this end, we attempt to demonstrate Å½ivadinovâs affinities with both a particular Marxist, i.e. Benjaminian, and Nietzsche-Deleuzian (post-structuralist) concept of time. Special attention is given to the way in which a close examination of Å½ivadinovâs work not only as theatrical but also as conceptual, trans-artistic, techno-scientific, socio-political, and philosophical, is essential to understanding some of his key arguments.
