MELT … & more – body and site related performances
Some weeks ago I really could imagine how she felt …. “When I first came to new York it was so unbearable hot. It’s the feeling that your body is going to disintegrate and the body as material. …” (link) and coming across the announcement of the upcoming NYC performances I discovered these really interesting […] Read More
The Heart of Jenin bringing forward the Cinema of Jenin

[…] Read Morefound and liked: tentative connections
A visit to Munich, chance and a good friend brought me to see a show, which really impressed me by its careful and light compositions … and – stays on my mind – a sign, which does not happen to often. A desire to memorize the seen and share the experience, brings that to my […] Read More

Aghet – Demons of the Past
Sometimes it might seem that this blog is side-stepping, even to myself, but then I recall the ‘gap’ is also always been about the gap in general and any meaning and as well especially about media.
