Operating Manual for Floating in Space
Performing ‘Termination’ as the final act, September 2019.
The great vastness of space. The nullity of the rock we inhabit. The energy that infinitely flows.
An unbelievable force yet rare and fragile. We spin, we zip, we orbit - but we wish to float. The tectonics of our energy forms the elementary nature of our existence. We lie on the surface, navigating our position in the universal scheme, trying to grasp our fleeting presence in and around this rock. What does it feel like? How do we get there? How did it get here? Have we arrived?
We invite each and everyone to experience this continuous happening of natural phenomena for one night only. There will be waves of manually driven movements, sounds, propulsions, voices, music, initiated and/or caused by each participant.
