Die Performance händelt sich um Persönlichkeitsspaltung als Methode zur Austreibung der Verzweifelung. Der Vortrag-Phase erklärt, wie the Artist sich damit umgeht. Tanz-Phase geht um Tanz als Exorzismus-Versuch und Beisammensein. Emotion-Semaphore nimmt Bezug auf Winksignale und Bewegung allgemein, die was kommunizieren. In der dritten Phase des Abends wird das Publikum in Begleitung von TheModernDoor Performance-Gruppe eingeladen, ihre eigene Semaphore zu entwickeln und üben.
Premiere at Ateliergemeinschaft Faust, Hanover, Germany, October 2016
A Performance in three phases.
Script:
A warm welcome, my honoured audience, my beings. I am very pleased that you came! I hope that you see new as well as familiar faces and have already spoken to some unknown to you. This evening is conceptualized, above all, as a party, although heavy topics are on the list, primarily DEATH & LOSS.
The evening will be made up of three phases.
The first phase begins now and consists of a lecture-performance and singing, ca. 15 minutes.
The second phase acts as a guide to the topic loss, and then we hold a short dance party.
The third phase includes a communication-rich experience, as we all attempt a broadly-defined, semaphore (movement vocabulary using flags) in order to communicate our feelings/opinions about death and loss –funny and not very funny.
