Return and Repetition. Re-enacting Scenes of Violence: Negotiating Figures of Migration and Overflow in Contemporary Performance and Visual Art

Sofie Volquartz Lebech

Abstract

This paper examines the affect and effect of torture and therapy on a personal as well as state level. In the recent past, torture was considered something, which had been inflicted upon those who arrived in Europe as refugees and who were in turn treated in therapy. Today, Western democracies have re-introduced torture as a means to stop terrorism. On the backdrop of the current entanglement of war, torture, and terror, this paper performance investigates the precarious relationship between victim and perpetrator.
