Mⁿnchen, Heidelberg, Berlin, 1999
In Tomboy, Thomas Meinecke and David Moufang pose the question
of the cultural conditions for the construction of sexual
identity, beyond all biologisms. The fragmentary texts used
concern the scandalous social situation of women, strategies of
feminine masculinity and of masculine femininity, and the
political discourse on the discontent of the sexes (from Otto
Weininger to Judith Butler). As a continuation of this 1998
studio production, which was committed to deconstructive
feminism, Meinecke and Moufang wrote Freud's Baby in 1999, a
concert piece with words and music, which was performed live at
intermedium 1 in Berlin and is concerned with the other
identity-forging and damaging phallocentric projections of the
sexual. Based less on male descriptions of women than Tomboy,
but rather (again mainly in already established texts) on a
demonstration of man's no less breathtaking constructions of
femininity on his own body, Freud's Baby contains irritating
manifestations of so-called Great Men menstruating and even
giving birth (when, for example, the Viennese doctor Sigmund
Freud bears the baby of the Berlin doctor Wilhelm Flie▀). A
further (directly related) basic motif in the work emerges from
the fatal parallel between anti-Semitism and antifeminism (and
their reinterpretation with a positive spin in more recent
Jewish studies). David Moufang alias Move D has run the techno
label Source Records in Heidelberg since 1992. His album
Kunststoff, released on this label, attracted world-wide
attention in 1995. The vibraphonist Karl Berger, also born in
Heidelberg and living in Woodstock and Frankfurt am Main, has
been one of the most highly respected musicians on this
instrument since he first played with Don Cherry and Steve Lacy
in 1964. Together with David Moufang, he plays in the
international formation Conjoint. Andrew Pekler came to
Heidelberg from the USA and, under the name Sad Rockets, he
brought out albums with electronic music on the Source and
Morbid Records labels. He is a member of the electronic combo
Bergheim 34 and the rockÆnÆroll band Mucus 2. Thomas Meinecke,
who spent his childhood between Mannheim and Heidelberg and who
today lives in Upper Bavaria, last brought out the album Tel
Aviv with his band F.S.K. on the Sub-Up Records label and the
novel Tomboy in Suhrkamp Verlag.
