A production of Sophiensæle with Hessischer Rundfunk (hr2 Hörspiel),
Contemporary Fine Arts Berlin and TEXTxtnd, in connection with
MaerzMusik | Berliner Festspiele, supported by the Amt für Wissenschaft
und Kunst Frankfurt, realized with means of the Kulturstiftung des
Bundes, with support of United Airlines

In the 80s artist Raymond Pettibon, together with a couple of pals from
the punk band Sonic Youth, shot a home video about an American terror
group of the 60s: The Whole World Is Watching: Weatherman ’69.
This obscure relic of the American Underground is a ludicrous and
sad-melancholy reflection on the lost utopias of the extreme-left
student movement caught between violent excesses and sex, drugs and
rock’n’roll. With a series of spectacular bomb attacks killing no one
but its own members, the Weatherman movement, originating in the white
middle-class of the Eastern States, became the most eccentric and
notorious splinter group of the students opposition of the 60s.
The dialogues written by Pettibon comprise 50 pages of everyday
vignettes from the Underground, anarchic propaganda, jetsam from pop
culture, and extensively complex reflections. Seemingly casual, absurd
dialogues alternate with monolithic paragraphs. With a cast of over
twenty and partly historical personages, the text reproduces historical
events and encounters with celebrities of pop culture like Jane Fonda
and John Lennon, and traces the everyday mania of the Underground.
Twenty years later, Oliver Augst has turned the texts into a libretto
and will put Raymond Pettibon together with Schorsch Kamerun and
Japanese noise legend Keiji Haino in a radio play version of the
material. The Whole World Is Watching is the third cooperation of Oliver
Augst and Raymond Pettibon.
