Chora

Space Choreography. Growing Time by Moritz Majce, Sandra Man
In the frame of Open Spaces - Herbst

The Earth is a foreign planet. Every day it shows a different face.

There is no piece, no premiere, no stable frame. »Chora« will grow in time over 5 days up to 16 hours on the last. The whole space will be different every day. In varying media, constellations and rhythms 12 performers will appear in images of technonature, texts of terrestrial phantasies, on mobile objects as unsolid grounds. How to inhabit and how to visit an ever changing space? »Chora« is a space choreography, a liquid environment of objects, performers, images, texts and sound.
