Flow

2019 | HKB | ACT Basel

Flow (2019) was initially inspired by a text by Michel Serres. Therein, a girl-character, which is a vessel for the listener to fully immerse into the story, is sitting at the riverside absorbed by the poetry of a book. Interrupted by a pebble she starts to observe her surroundings. The story takes the audience through these various situations unfolding next to her. Just like the speed of the current a chain of events ebbs and flows, a stream of thought. The text explores different objects and characters as part of a universal flow or Tao ancient Chinese spiritual philosophy.
