Raumbühne homage to Friedrich Kiesler I, II, III, IV
“Space is experienced through time which is turned into space through movement.”
[Friedrich Kiesler]
The space has a history – it is a living space, if it were to be filled once more?
It longs for emptiness!
Perhaps a space is disturbed by being observed?
We enter it on an axis, can the circle survive?
“Raumbühne” is about people (dancers) who decipher basic geometric patterns by their kinaestetic activities: the quadrature of the circle. Movement behaviour emerges, positions are being tested. Communication creates content, stories, memories… conclusions can be drawn.
