Day 1: If you tell me I am wrong, I don't wanna be right! | Final performance by Gustavo Tome Garcia

Fellow citizens of the World, thank you very much for the opportunity to be with you tonight to discuss a subject which, in my opinion, towers in importance above all others. It is the subject of international TIREDNESS.

This Party does not aim to approach tiredness by putting the responsibility on the individual to find their own time to rest, work out, eat well and meditate. I aim to approach it as what it is: a series of capitalistic methodologies and regulations that are causing exhaustion, depression, anxiety, tiredness, isolation and more. Personally, I think that tiredness is a sociological urgency.

The PARTY aims to problematize those methodologies and regulations that are causing physical-mental damage. What I want to suggest today is a collective effort in trying to fail the political project called burnout society; by allowing collective ways of being in the world through joy, humor, lightness, silliness and failure. I do not deny anxiety and self exploitation, but they are not the main affections of this practice. So, this PARTY is for YOU, a possibly exploited and tired person, to imagine and perform different ways of being. By doing that, I hope that one day we can fail this capitalistic project. As Adrienne Maree Brown says in Pleasure Activism: ´´could we make justice and liberation the most pleasurable collective experiences we could have?

*This party requires a professional dancer. Since I am not able to hire one, I have decided to invite you to the party.

**I will be offering you alcoholic drinks, but I might not be able to offer it to everyone. So, feel free to bring the special drink you like to drink. The same applies for food and snacks.
