The
Cave
Performance,
17
min
2013
The Cave is a tribute to the origins of art making and explores liminal states of human and non‐human existence and of becoming other. Over the duration of 17 min a stage is created as a living tableaux transforming the space into a temporary cave. Five distinctly costumed characters inhabit, explore and construct The Cave as they interact, handle materials and paint each other in a slow and yet dramatic choreography structured by light and sound.
Performers: Linards Kulless, Christoph Mühlau, Philip Roitmann, Janne Schäfer, Mette Schwarz. Light on stage: Kristine Agergaard. Sound technical assistance: Matthias Wyder.
The Cave was performed during the performance evening ff / Forma at KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, 2013 and at Hitparaden 2 – international festival for performance art, Copenhagen, 2014
