Jetzt Oder Nie within For Any Revolutionary Play, 2010. Video documentation of a live collaborative performance, 6:02 mins. Kunsthaus Graz, Austria.
Jetzt Oder Nie within For Any Revolutionary Play was a collaborative performance that Raskin wrote and choreographed with and for a group of bilingual young people between the ages of nine and thirteen. Raskin's eponymous installation was part of the exhibition Grasping Speed. The installation responded to the iconic Peter Cook building in the heart of Graz that houses the Kunsthaus, with its nozzle-like windows. Raskin created various stations across the installation, with specific instructions for each performer. When they arrived at a station and read their instructions, they performed until Raskin — hidden beneath the elevated stage — yelled "jetzt oder nie", or "freeze," at which point the performers changed stations.
