“Raumbühne” invites protagonists (distinct characters) to decipher basic geometric patterns by their kinaesthetic instincts: the quadrature of the circle is the riddle. Personal behaviour codes emerge; choreographic gestures evolve, transforming the geometry. Communication creates content, stories… A conclusion is not to be stated!
“Space is experienced through time which is turned into space through movement.”
(Friedrich Kiesler)
The space has a history – it is a living space. What, if it were to be filled once more?
It longs for emptiness! Is perhaps a space disturbed by being observed?
Do we look for the entrance on an axis; can the circle survive?
