Beeldend Theater "Een zwakke wind uit het zuid-westen, Moeder aarde"

On 12, 13 and 14 December, Een zwakke wind uit het zuid-westen and Moeder aarde were performed. The first performance involved the installation of a heavily bolted wooden cage, above which were projected slide images of roofs crowded with chimneys and aerials. Fragments of violin music could be heard in the room itself, drowned out by traffic noise. At a certain moment yellow balloons rose up out of the cage and at the same time were shown on the projection screen above. The projected balloons became larger and larger until finally they burst beneath the monotone blare of a foghorn. Then the view of the roofs returned. In another room Moeder aarde was being shown. A girl in a fluorescent green wet suit danced in front of a screen showing images of meadows fading into each other. In the background, the sound of croaking frogs and singing larks could be heard. The dancer slowly extricated herself from the ground and began an elegant dance as the water dripped from her body. The cage and the projection screen served as props during the theatrical performance and were afterwards put on display.
