Performance at Theater Basel (two excerpts), 1996
Two drums, represented by two people and the corresponding furniture, create rhythms and images in a choreographic sequence. The figures trample and kick, bang their heads on the tables, drum with their finger cubes, stand up and sit down.
To create the sounds, they use the floor, tables, stools and each other as resonating bodies. The movements and gestures of the figures determine the rhythm. The spectrum of their movements extends to doing nothing - which creates a pause in musical terms and a still image on the visual level.
