Mehr Kapitalismus wagen!

Lecture Performance (UA: Staatstheater Braunschweig, 2009)

Harald Wolff, Rebecca Egeling und Nadim Hussain bitten zum Schäfchenzählen und zeigen, wie man durch die Vernichtung von Kapital den Wert eines Unternehmens ins Unendliche steigern kann. Außerdem klären sie, wieso nicht zu wenig Geld unser Problem ist, sondern zu viel, warum Walter Riester Schuld ist an dem weltweiten Finanzdesaster und was wir tun können, um endlich Boni für alle einzusacken. (Harald Wolff)

Sheep Pattern Democracy

A participatory Lecture and Performance, (Dartington, UK 2008)

Imagine you walk into a field with sheep.

Instantaneous all Sheep turn around and stare at you.

They think as an entity, gather and blead: “beaahhh”

What does it feel like to be human –now?

The participatory lecture makes links between the herding behaviour of sheep and the structure of democracy. The following performance deals with embodying, reproducing and failing being Animal. When the performer shifts in and out of Sheepness Humanness needs to be redifined.

In collaboration with Christine Borch

Outdoor Performance

A site specific performance along the culture - nature border land. (Dartington, UK 2007)

In autumn 2007 one place on Dartmoor is visited several times a week.

Early in the morning, when dust rises,
In the afternoons, when the sun still warms the rocks,
At night, when the hands are not visible in front of the eyes.

A relationship to wind, whether, water, rocks and trees unfolds, develops and changes.

At the end of the physical research fragile bodies, exposed to the place move in confluence with their environment. In the witnesses mind boundaries between Nature and Human Identity might soften and mellow.

In collaboration with Shelley Castle (Photography) and Elisabeth Pöcksteiner (dance)

New York Counterpoint

Ein choreographierter Wahrnehmungsprozess sichtbarer Klangzustände (UA: Festival Junger Talente, Offenbach/Main, 2006)

Im Innern eines Tunnels aus Tönen und Licht in mannigfachen Schattierungen meint man, Farben hören und Klänge sehen zu können. Irgendetwas passiert mit der eigenen Wahrnehmung. Sie gerät an ihre Grenzen, und plötzlich stellt man fest, man steht nicht still im Raum, weil der Boden vor einem wegläuft. Doch dann kommt der Horizont auf einen zu. Was bleibt, ist die Musik.
