The performance (ah ah ah) is based on Heinrich von Kleist’s essay Über das Marionettentheater, published in the Berliner Abendblätter in 1810. The text is spoken by four performers and dancers, in German, English, and French, and simultaneously expressed on stage by the movements of their bodies. Each body assumes a specific role. The memorisation of the text is transferred to the individual body languages. Do language and movement, memory and forgetting, influence each other?
The way the text is expressed and the interaction between the performers form a constantly evolving choreography, that adapts to the venue.
