Estranged Proximities | 2007 Next Work >>
A Waiting Laboratory | 19:30
Actors:
Félix Kama, Fabienne Elaine Hollwege, Stela M. Katic

Estranged Proximities documents a performance of “waiting” with 3 actors. The gestures were based on micro-sociological observations of individuals waiting alone in public / social spaces in Stuttgart, Berlin & Hannover over a period of 2 months. The gestures of waiting were then improvised by the actors in a series of interactions with one another as different characters.

In a Laboratory-esque setting, with only a white bench, each actor plays 6 rolls in differing scenarios. The work examines the Choreography of the Quotidian and the staging of the social individual.

Special thanks to Akademie Schloss Solitude for their support of this project.
