Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm

Someone says “Someone goes to the wall and” – and someone goes to the wall. What is said will be done: that is the basic rule behind “Macchia”, a game for four storytellers and performers. The instructions are moves in a game, which can be negotiated between the performers or stolen from one another – producing alliances and provoking misunderstandings. Speaking and moving thus become interrelated, form units of meaning, immediately fall apart again and keep the game going.

The audience can follow this choreographic process live, in which the instructions are simultaneously narratives and every instructor is also a character in another’s story. Script, stage directions and action of stage are interwoven. The result is a metaleptic labyrinth, in which the performers lose themselves, not unlike the legend of the Chinese painter, who disappeared into his own painting.

In “Macchia”, Tilman Aumüller, Jacob Bussmann, Bettina Földesi, Ruth Schmidt and Friederike Thielmann explore the tension between fluxus scores and epic narratives.
