Becoming Myth

2023 | HEAD | ACT Bern

The audience is invited to go in the Progr’s underground. The audience sits on the floor, in a hall. The performer is not to be seen and appears from down the stairs. The setting is lit and the audience hears a dull sound. The performer sits on the floor with a white chalk stone. The performer tells the audience a story. The story of a house. The performer draws a square on the floor with the chalk stone. The sound of the rock on the floor is amplified through a cable that is linked to the rock. The story goes on and the voice of the performer is distorted. The performer draws a large motive on the floor. The body of the performer takes the white of the chalk stone. The body of the performer becomes a danced body. The chalk stone wears out. The movement of the body wears out. The performer leaves the stage by the emergency exit.
