GUTER DINGE

installative performance, 2020
großes Studio HfG Karlsruhe, 40 Min

GUTER DINGE [engl. good things/in cheerful spirits] is a choreographic dialogue between three machine-things and one performer, combining elements from theater play, installation and dance. With crude, unpredictable patterns of movement, Dirigentenkreisel [conductor's spintop], Staksende Wippe [staking rocker] and Wabbelndes Seegras [wobbling seaweed] wander, wriggle and swing through the room: they are disturbers and disturbed - characters on a stage. What results from an interplay between two partners who must remain unequal? Do we have to infuse things with a soul before we respect them and take them seriously?
