CONSTANT REALITIES

With the performance CONSTANT REALITIES we create an atmospheric space, that provides a field for improvisation.

Main questions of our research are: How does indoor/outdoor environment influence or color choices in performance?
Can we visualize aspects of space perception? Can we find acoustic equivalents?

Working as a duo since 3 years, we are constantly developing visual concepts for our improvised musical and physical dialogues in space.
In general we are focusing on the wide phenomena of movement – in terms of physical movement versus moving image.
The constant life movement and the impossibility of freezing the moment corresponds with the variable element of speed.
The sound, image and performative movement fully compliment each other creating a symbiotic poetic imagery.
 
We work site-specific and always work towards strengthening the topographic specifics of each space– physically, acoustically and visually.
Each time we inhabit a space through video relatively fast. Within this frame we aim for a performance format about an hour.
