Description
Om bading i Biscaya is an extremely physical and
rhythmic perfomance where the good old Natural Laws are challenged by
the force, structure, sounds and movements emerging from a
percussionist, a dancer and live-electronics present before the
audience.
The artistic material in the programme helps to construct a virtual
universe with
dynamically changing laws of nature. The laws
constitute forces, obstacles, structures of energy the performers
relate to in their efforts to perceive, control, manipulate, challenge
- even obey at times - concepts such as
time,
gravity,
friction and
heat.
The performance utilise various kinds of sensor-technology to control
the acoustic and visual situation on stage.
