ASPARAGUS
(film version)
2021-2022
Performer & Co-creator
A dinner table is planted in the middle of the space. So far, only two seats are occupied, but it is against the rules and regulations of a formal dinner to eat the food before everyone arrives/
And no one arrives. The table -from a space of co-existence and sharing-is being transformed into a lonely space,into a waiting room/
Starting innocently, the performance quickly evolves into a surreal deconstruction-trip: As if it was their first time sitting at a table, the performers explore the objects and groceries so familiar to us, scrutinize, misuse and transform them/
The images and stories they create this way, get more absurd minute by minute/
Being at the mercy of a destroying force of change, the table becomes the border between this world and the other world, a tableau for the unspeakable, for secret wishes, desires and expectations.
