RAGEBAIT – Guinness World Records Audio Guide to Her

We are delighted to welcome you to skēnē this Friday, where we will show the play RAGEBAIT as part of the programme for Oda Haugerud’s exhibition Guinness World Records Audio Guide to Her. The play is written by Maddie Kuzak and performed by Kuzak, Haugerud and Dr. Fuck. Looking forward!

RAGEBAIT began with the title. In conjunction with Haugerud’s exhibition, RAGEBAIT is a collaboration between Haugerud and Kuzak. Two noise rockers as well as visual artists, Haugerud and Kuzak are interested in applications of shock value and transgression in musical subculture. Rage bait is a term originally used to describe provocation to garner engagement on social media, but can be retroactively appropriated to describe any performance that is contingent on sustaining an environment of provocation. RAGEBAIT is a play about the social media phenomenon, in the tradition of performances defined by audience provocation predating social media such as the Grand Guignol, punk rock, WWE wrestling and tabloid talk shows. RAGEBAIT is dedicated to Lisa Carver, aka Lisa Suckdog, a singular writer, and a playwright and performer of transgressive operas, one of which Kuzak toured with in 2016.

This event is part of the exhibition programme for Guinness World Records Audio Guide to Her, and is supported by Kulturrådet, Malmö stad and Region Skåne.
