FRA[ME]D

a performance | 30’ 

Framing a space. Framing a body. Framing your body. Framing my body. And again, framing your body. Being framed. Being a framed body. What will be framed next? This is not a frame, instead, framing nothing, reframing, unframing, and framing again. Do I still fit the frame? Or does the frame not fit me anymore? In search for a new frame.

Inspired by a red marker.



ABOUT
During the performance the space turns into a visual refrigerator, inhabited by five performers executing an unstoppable and inevitable task of framing the white space with red tape with almost frightening determination. The performance is driven by individual scores and tasks that each performer follows throughout the performance, constantly relating to each other. Prominent to the work is the design of the space, choice of colours, lighting as well as the distinct and comprehensible action of the different performers.
