waiting

a long durational solo performance

A moment of waiting,
a moment to listen.
A moment in time
to hold
the mind
while time is passing by thoughts are flying the sky. Trying to grasp
a moment in time
when leaving the past ready to go
but never to arrive because the future is not this kind of type.
Instead
home in the thoughts
not meant to be hold always ready to go
and from time to time
I might stay
at least,
for a little
while.



ABOUT
This long durational solo performance is a journey of insight, where a practice of listening uncovers images that emerge through the internal and external soundscape - creating a constant flow of moving stills. The tension between resting/listening and acting/moving becomes pertinent in this work.

The performance is an extended and reworked side-specific version of the solo performance portrait, created and performed for Papillae Festival in January 2023 at ArtEZ University of the Arts, Arnhem (NL).
