In October, Elaine Mitchener & Laure M. Hiendl arrived in Donaueschingen, days before what should have been the premiere of Elaine’s project On Being Human as Praxis, only to find the festival was cancelled. Jennifer Walshe speaks with Elaine and Laura about adjusting expectations, how they found inspiration in the writings of feminist cultural theorist Sylvia Winter, and collaborating across timezones.
