Propaganda! is a continuation to a research by united sorry (“lost in space” Brut Vienna, 2010, “Holy Shit”, Vienna, 2010), and the first stage of a series of collaborations initiated by united sorry to investigate the issue of propaganda in different formats in different European countries. The project aims to make a catalogue of the specific tools and strategies of political propaganda in different countries and use them as creative means for changing the political debates in Europe.
united sorry is collaboration between Frans Poelstra and Robert Steijn. Besides making work for the theatre, they also make performances for galleries, museums, festival-openings and -endings. Their work emphasizes the necessity of playfulness in imagination, behaving and thinking, but they also want to stimulate the listening to the senses, and they can't help it to make a reflecting kind of poetry of topics that are in the center of the public debate (within the art-field or in the mass media). united sorry based in Vienna and Amsterdam and their work is shown in theaters, galleries in various countries in Europe and the USA. They also give workshops and collaborate with other artists.
