Interdisciplinary live performance // Idea: Mental and physical imprisonment and the associated traumas. An escape from prison is planned and staged by activists and hackers. // Realization: In the center is a salon table. On it is a board with a picture printed on it. The picture shows the inner courtyard of a prison (The Container). This image is filmed by a still camera during the performance. During the performance, Atem, Gen; and Miriam Bossard create collages with various materials on the image of the board table, i.e. in the prison courtyard: snippets, pills and other materials and utensils are used. The live collages will be filmed by a still camera. These recordings are digitally altered in real time by Signe Fleischmann, another performance artist, and projected onto a screen. Atem, Gen; also takes on the role of a computer hacker on a laptop and intervenes in the action with texts written in real time, which are also projected onto the screen. At the same time, experimental noise music is created by "KayZee Patrick Hollenstein" - interspersed with live spoken word and monk overtone singing interludes by Atem, Gen;, who performs live in a monk's robe via vocoder. At the end, the collage image of the salon table is destroyed in a storm of images. ////
