Question whats not questionedanymore because its just the way it
is.be where you belong! Is told to the dog, to the poor, to the
traveler, the gypsy,the punk, the Arab, to our urges, our desires,
to each and every one. Go fitnicely into the designated box, nice
and clean, good dog, be where we expectyou to be with your
individual microwave dinner, sorted garbage, valid visa...Men,
animals and things all alike, at their right place. all things
their placeeach place its thing.As a musician and a performer, we
are trying to build a microcosm where
music, performance, acting, text, scenography merge into one
sole sceniclanguage. Aiming at removing the partition between these
different means ofexpression so that the audience is not sensing
various mediums but a flux ofinformation and sensations through the
whole.
