ALEPPO

Format: Performance
I make one performance, title is: ALEPPO what I need is the following: a room, totally dark, only in the middle of the room an enlighted lightbulb is hanging from the ceiling. Onto the wire of the lightbulb I'll hang a metal frame. I also have some white canvas tissues on the floor and a rubbish-bin-like bin, in which I have red liquid paint (waterbased). During the performance I will put the stripes of the cloth into the paint and then I will hang them one by one onto the frame. With the time it will cover the light and the room will be red and dark. (Idea)
Dampfzentrale


Miscellaneous / notes:

on the day of Basel ACT I will fly from Basel-Mulhause Airport at 16:30, so I would be happy to be one of the first performers, that I don't miss to perform in Basel and also don't miss my plane :)

Space (setting/stage design/public sphere/agile etc.:

The room has to be empty, because otherwise the audience's interest will be drawn from the lightbulb. (the less additional architectonal info, the better result) For the lightbulb I need a room with not that height ceiling, where it is possible to hang the wire. I also need electricity, where to light the lightbulb. The floor must be washable (the canvas cloth will drop a lot of paint on the floor) After the performance I need at least an hour to clean the room and the floor, so please do not count with that room for the next 1,5 hours.

Approximate duration:

20-25 minutes (60 minutes for the preparation before and 90 minutes for cleaning after)

Technics 1 (what you bring):

I bring the wire, the lightbulb, the metal frame, the bin, the clothes and the paint.

Technics 2 (what you need):

I need someone to help me to install the wire to the ceiling and into a plug on/from the ceiling (mit verl¨ąngerunskabel) and if the room is not totally dark, then some preparation, to make the room dark. somebody to uninstall the wire and some equipment to clean the floor after the performance.
