Concept and Idea: Elena Tzavara
Design: Robert Pflanz
Percussion:
Dominic Oelze, Christian Langer
Dramaturgie: Dr. Regula Rapp
Premiere: 22.November 2004
In the foyer of the main-building /
Humboldt-University / Berlin
The foyer of the Humboldt-University, through which several of hundred
persons are running each day, changes into a public market and turning wheel.
The form of the tube-lights hanging from the ceiling leads into the form
of the installation itself. Two caves that facing each other build the main
construction in which two percussionists are playing on tubes made of every
material that can be used to produce a sound.
The two percussionists are communicating through these pipes.
The directions that the two musicians have to follow are projected by
chance on the wall, so that the musicians create an improvised concert.
The concert will transfer into a sound-installation that continues for
one week.
