When I found the performance's ⬆️ video, I already knew Ms. Koechlin, as some time before I had stumbled upon

"Rape - It's your fault".

It's tough stuff. Only watch (3'35'') if you're able to stand hefty sarcasm.

Let's finalise this thread by perhaps one of the most impressive poetry performances I have ever seen.

"The Printing Machine" deals with a variety of topics, but predominantly with the commodification of sexual violence by a ruthless media industry feeding the public's morbid fascination with this topic.

Written and performed by Kalki Koechlin

Even if it weren't for the message, her voice alone is enough reason to watch it.

I think it's perfect
Thank you, Mina

I'm just trying to find the text...
I don't understand everything...you know my English...I'm already struggling to read english...

In any case, really impressive
Everything the video, the text, Kary is impressive just stunning

You somehow show me which project I should tackle next...
Thanks to @HistoPol
I had already started something...
Heading..."The Indictment paper" because it's so huge so far
Somehow my things are getting longer and longer

I have now a subtitled version online.

However: There are some references to Indian news and culture, we might not entirely understand.

I don't think, it takes anything of the message away.

On the contrary: It shows, how universal the vicious news cycle, we are all part of, really is.

@si_irini

Sometimes, I miss the voices from India, Vietnam, Nigeria and other places, I used to have regularly in my Twitter bubble.

The Fediverse is still ethnically and socially a not very diverse place.

Yes, that could be the case
You certainly know that better than I do, I've been on social media for far too short a time.

It might have been a short time, but your contribution is wonderful.

si_irini Mar 10, 2024

Oh Mina, thank you that's really sweet

now you make me embarrassed and happy at the same time

Alexander Goeres 𒀯 Mar 11, 2024

@Mina well then tell your twitter bubblers to come to a better place ...

Mina Mar 11, 2024

@jabgoe2089

I did! Repeatedly.

But unfortunately, It didn't really work, except for the Germans and the Swiss (and there also only partly).

Don't get me wrong: I love it here, but I wish, the Fediverse idea spread a bit more.

Alexander Goeres 𒀯 Mar 11, 2024

@Mina it doesn't spread itsself. the media hate the fediverse (choice is too complicated even for tech journalists). so you have to spread the idea ... :-)

Thank you very much Mina ❤️ 😘
You are unique

I will watch it later

I wanted to continue the Indictment paper, but instead i started a new one (the forth in the "only he" series)

I think it is good like that, I can watch now these videos again and find the spirit to continue the Indictment paper
The time for the Indictment paper was not today i guess

The time will come
The topic of rape needs a really strong text so I will let destiny decide when it is time to end it

I can agree with your summary, Mina.
@mina.

The #Dadaistic performance of #KalkiKoechlin, "The Printing Machine - Unblushed" is very impressive, artistic, and also disturbing...which is why I've added a #CW, as it might trigger a lot of people, some of whom are my followers.

Any other adult should watch it.

Further warning: near-native level of #English is required.
As you've been so kind as 2 provide a subtitled version, that's easier😀

Vicious but really good
Just right sarcastically to the point
Thanks for sharing, Mina

@mina
In contrast 2 her other 2 very impressive videos, this satirical clip of #KalkiKoechlin's did not convince me.

I'm a true fan of the works of @thejuicemedia, who, arguably, are currently the benchmark for political and social satire in a video clip format around here.

#Koechlin's clip is produced in that style +I can't even say that she did a poor job at mimicking it.

I couldn't shake off the dissonance I felt b/w the subject and the style.

Thanks for sharing Mina

That is really good
