Abstract: In this essay the author develops a concept for his and Edy Poppy's performance, The Trial Against Ourselves (2021). In their ‘utopian’ performance they enact alternatives to contemporary global capitalism. Juridical theatre has a tradition of trying to accomplish this: Augusto Boal (Legislative Theatre) and Milo Rau (The Congo Tribunal) attempt to enact similar alternatives through their re-enactments of injustice and pre-enactments of utopias. In The Criminal Complaint Performance (2018), the forerunner of The Trial Against Ourselves, Blaue & Poppy ‘enacted’ a law against structural violence and ‘pressed charges’ against themselves.
