We know the umbrella as an everyday object designed to protect us from the weather. For the
performance, I turn the upper part of the umbrella around so that it catches the rain instead of repelling it. With the inverted umbrella in my hands, I walk slowly from Lucerne to Emmenbrücke and collect rain. As the rain is a recurring, prominent player in Lucerne, I definitely count it as one of the souvenirs worth mentioning. That's why I fill the collected rain into a glass jar at the end of the performance. "L'Eau de Lucerne" is worth preserving.
