“The t<\/span>heatre of desire is apocalyptic theatre. <\/span>Yet <\/span>not a theatre of the <\/span>one-off <\/span>Apocalypse, but of the permanent Apocalypse. The <\/span>A<\/span>pocalypse is the ultimate event that ends time and all secondary events, <\/span>it is <\/span>the absolute <\/span>one-off <\/span>unrepeatable event. Our theatrical apocalypse is the same, but <\/span>upside down<\/span> \u2013<\/span> not the <\/span>one-off <\/span>end of history, but the unfolding of time in its apocalyptic<\/span> nature<\/span>. The world and time have shaken off their misery and are swimming in the absolute, the <\/span>unrepeatable <\/span>\u2013<\/span> and so on ad infinitum. Like <\/span>Trotsky<\/span>\u2019<\/span>s <\/span>permanent revolution, the permanent apocalypse <\/span>introduces a permanent state of exception,<\/span> without compromise. Not the flow of the ordinary interrupted by the rupture of the extraordinary, but the extraordinary transformed into a flow without <\/span>being banalized. <\/span>A <\/span>permanent<\/span>state of <\/span>excessive use<\/span> of time<\/span> and energy<\/span>, a <\/span>permanent<\/span>, impossible intensity <\/span>going <\/span>far beyond the threshold of human <\/span>capabilities<\/span>, <\/span>permanent <\/span>total damage <\/span>\u2013<\/span> that which is supposedly <\/span>unique<\/span> and which ends everything, but which is prolonged <\/span>and <\/span>hooked to infinity.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

TOTAL DAMAGE is absolute expenditure of existing. Destruction, from which our phoenix rises – ruin is our oeuvre. The place where existence is possible only as permanent apocalypse. Revealing of what is hidden, manifestation of what is double, triple and multiple, discerning of what is single. We are moved by desire, which is totally expended, without being exhausted. Desire that gives you fever and has no purpose, besides actualizing itself. Not to attain its object, because there is no object, but to be constant reality. Desire has no perspective, doesn’t meet the dark melancholy of its accomplishment. Its world is absolute and it motor is perpetuum. We are trotskyists of desire.”<\/p>\n
