"Raumbühne"
homage to Friedrich Kiesler I, II, III, IV
Space is experienced through time, which is turned into space through movement
[Friedrich Kiesler]
The space has a history -
it is a living space,
if it were to be filled once more?
It longs for emptiness!
Perhaps a space is disturbed
by being observed?
We enter it on an axis, can the circle survive?
"Raumbühne" is about people (dancers) who decipher basic geometric patterns by their kinestetic activities: the quadrature of the circle. Movement behaviour emerges, positions are being tested. Communication creates content, stories, memories... conclusions can be drawn.
