Florence Minder

My task is not to judge society but to understand why this society is what it is.
My task is not only to tell a story, but to understand how it is told, to whom it is told, and for what purpose.
My task is to provide insight, understanding, and experience through the prism of writing, the body, fiction, and the shared present moment.
My task is to identify and help create new models of sharing, communication, and survival.

I am not a seller/marketer of cultural objects.
I am not an agent of gentrification or diversion.
I am an artist at work. Daily.
This is my role in society.

Just like that of a doctor, a farmer, a judge, or a gardener.
I do not work for my own recognition but for the achievement of specific goals:

– to question and renew the collective imagination
– to propose a unique writing style
– to articulate and produce thought with the body
– to contribute to the preservation of the social fabric

I believe in the necessity for each of us to define the territory of our worldview.
I find it useful to know how to differentiate between a desire, a necessity, a will, an addiction, and a struggle.
I believe in the uncompromisable time of articulating a thought tied between philosophy, politics, body, and art, which clashes with the imperatives of daily and intimate life.

I advocate for an accessible and demanding theater that addresses everyone and concerns each of us.
