STREETMOVEMENTTHEATER
vis plastica trans.gen. StreetmovementTheater claims subway stations, crowded streets, parks, plazas as its stage, developing a daydream theater of inner images in a public space. The artificial skin forms an elastic wall around the actors - protecting, but also limiting. For the spectator, a cell, magnified, in constant transformation - for the actor, a narrow enclave which s/he strives to transcend -
a germ of concentration in the busy streets for the passersby - is this germ infectious?

"Those bodies are not carriers of power and status, they surrender themselves to their inner movement in a public theatrical gesture which generates suggestive impact. ... In the midst of real life
vis plastica creates commotion, movement, a turbulence."
Der Standard, Judith Fischer, 1992
