“And the moment of the rehearsal seems interesting to me because one could probably say metaphysically that it’s processing this aesthetic of labor, that it’s very involved in much of the work that we’ve done, that is a work that sees production in relation not to the achievement of a result, but rather to the question of what is taking place and what intervenes, and what establishes the form and the time of what it is to be making the organic relation of making.”
“It also seems important to me to pose the question of why labor is connected here with inefficiency. Because basically the difference between labor and work is that sometimes well-finished work makes one forget whether it was efficient or not. “
“One of the characteristic of this situation in which everything is labor as Arendt thinks that’s in the modern world in which there is no longer any authentic work, is that the only question that comes up is whether the process was efficient or not. Whether it is possible to reduce the effort in order to lower the price and increase the production.”
“The rehearsal have a sort of role in clarifying to what extent this space that we call labor is a type of definition of what the temporal is.”
“What the experience of labor formulates is a structure of temporality, that is, the phases of work, its prolongation, its interruption, its achievement, what they create is time, the notion of temporality. What the rehearsal is doing is to try making this operation evident. “
