7-day Ritual Theatre
05/07 to 11/07/1998
Biel/Bienne
The fourth and broadest concept of Ritual Theatre presented a deserted warehouse with its naked architecture as the empty space. It remained open for 168 hours non-stop. An uninterrupted, hourly repeated ritual of water carrying brought the particular situation into the public subconsciousness. The waking in the empty warehouse required of the participating people a detailed reference between "art" acts and "life" acts. The minimization to pure body presence or slow body flow created a temple atmosphere.
Performance with Boedi S. Otong, Verena Gassmann, Thomas Zollinger, Mala Sikka and 24 other artists, actors, dancers, musicians and water kettle carriers.
