It can cause trouble to make trouble and if one is in serious trouble, one cannot afford to make trouble - let alone to make work about trouble. In their solo Lau Lukkarila labours with trouble as a consequence of what they are not trying to hide or to avoid. One the one hand, they ask what are the troubles they - as white and queer - can afford to feel and get in, and what are the discourses, genealogies and ancestral biographies which are inscribed into their body. How do specific troubles move and freeze bodies; such as internal and external injuries, broken heart, misgendering, shaming, belittling, anxiety, being broke or lost, sexual harassment, homophobia, violence, pain, fear of ageing and dying. On the other hand, they state that the genealogy of trouble has everything to do with mechanisms of power. It’s like Ebow says in the song Punani Power: “Aber ein echter Gangster ist ein Feminist.” A real gangsta - a subject with power and agency - is the one who is aware of the mechanisms and the distribution of power. The one who troubles mechanisms of trouble in the name of less trouble.
