WOVEN (Tallinn, 2010)
WOVEN is a performance in busy street environment.
Two participants are holding ends of a bunch of strings of
different colour and thickness. They are standing quite far
away from each other, so strings, when not tightened, lay on
the pavement and any by-passer may take control of them and
intervene in the communication of the performers.
The performers communicate only by varying tension of the
stings and so feeling bodies of each other. In the meanwhile
they move by the street, get distracted, do their everyday
business, sometimes even disappear from the sight of each
other behind a corner.
Duration of the performance is about 20 minutes. In collaboration with Vahram Muradyan.
TheĆs performance is a metaphor for communication and networks. Very complex, vulnerable, beautiful ties connect people communicating with each other. These ties become almost visible when communicating on long distances. |
