Venue Kunstraum Walcheturm

This production is about creating a narrative with the circumstances - The floor of the venue is very cracking and thus embodying the current situation of a time and space and, of course, give a sound. For instance we perform with the audience.
But then the agreement, also made with the audience in advance, is that the boundary between the spectator and the makers must be removed.

Everyone observes each other and the experiment threatens to take no path at all. Then one of the artists provokes with a gesture that expresses as precisely as possible what might have value or validity for everyone at that moment. Maybe it's hot, and an artist wipes his or her brow, a bit more demonstrative, more theatrical than usual. This should and could be the impetus for further gestures and movements that allow improvisation, like a snowball effect between audience and performer. Also part of our repertoire, based on our artistic way of working, are objects, instruments, puppets or even simple animated projections. This creates a framework for another kind of interaction and moving improvisation. Resillience arises precisely in these moments.
