For the Summe Jubiläum + Auftakt at HUMBUG, PANCH was looking for committed Basel performers through a call for applications. The participants were invited directly or drawn by lot from among the applicants.
Dancing to the music, I enter and continue dancing at the performance venue. Fine grains of gold trickle between my legs onto the black felt-covered floor.
I begin to write on the floor with the grains of gold: GOLDEN RULE / BEKENNE PERFORMANCE by forming the grains into letters and words with my hands. The writing on the floor is filmed by a live video camera and projected onto a screen.
I pull clay shoes - which sound phonetically similar to sneakers, and look similar - towards me on a string. I put them on and smudge the writing with the clay shoes, dancing. The golden grains settle in the soles of the clay shoes so that they end up with a golden sole.
The performance is a celebration and appreciation of menstrual bleeding and fertility in the broadest, also creative, sense. It thematizes golden rules and appreciates recurring and transient cycles.
Music: 17 Hippies, Worksong
