Making Up
A New Style

Furious, Exuberant, DRAG*

A book on Asthetics and Politics and performences to behead the Hegemonies

In the beginning – how could it be otherwise – there is a disappointment.
A disappointment? That would still be bearable! It is no longer possible to count how many there have been. Great deeds were promised. Fabulous stories about the possible, the real, about the past, the present and the future, about the abolition, the negation, the conservation, the elevation were foretold.
[…]
That is why the authors of this text say: there has always been only the beautiful and the beautiful has never been enough. The beautiful, that is the good and the true, that is the style that one chooses, because it is the presentation that makes us experience each other, what happens, happened, and emerges in the light of another morning while it is presented. The beautiful is what can only appear when life presents itself.
[…]
Basically, we are lying about our disagreement, not about the fact that it exists, but that it is stable. We are unstable seperated, and therefore we make philosophy as a way out of this ambiguity.
[…]
Always raging beyond the bearable, furious, and exuberant … So why not also do so in drag, throwing everything self-confidently and autonomously into these waves of lies and taking the style seriously as style, so that also the subject can appear unstably changing – but somehow always already as a parody of themself.
[…]

Just one more thing: It was a pleasure for us.
To have this whole theatre of philosophy comming to an ending without horror and to beginnings full of fractures, shining like a diamond.
