COMMUNIKEY FESTIVAL 2011 VISION STATEMENT

Reclaiming The Festival

The festival once served as a celebratory interval in the day to day experience. The entire community would engage in this process, extending the celebration from nights into days into weeks, through food, dance, performance, parade and exploration of cultural traditions. Our era is one of structure, working hours, and weekends, national holidays defining when and what will be celebrated, and never for more than a moment at a time.

While these structures have served the modern world greatly, we intend to reclaim the festival, embracing structure and chaos in its complexity, and honoring the liminal, the space where festival came to be. There is a tension and release in these liminal spaces, which is where we will play with this year's programming, exploring time, space and the limitless potential of what can be, in the space in between. Exploring the spontaneous and the unexpected, this year's theme holds space to a series of secret passages, occurring within and without the overarching events, reclaiming the idea of festival.

The ancient concepts of jubilee and saturnalia originate in an intuition that certain events lie outside the scope of "profane time," the measuring-rod of the State and of History. These holidays literally occupied gaps in the calendarintercalary intervals. By the Middle Ages, nearly a third of the year was given over to holidays. Perhaps the riots against calendar reform had less to do with the "eleven lost days" than with a sense that imperial science was conspiring to close up these gaps in the calendar where the people's freedoms had accumulateda coup d'etat, a mapping of the year, a seizure of time itself, turning the organic cosmos into a clockwork universe.
