Text

The Charge is a site-specific performance as part of an open air experimental event. An invitation to animate a large bush situated in the courtyard of a housing complex. While the performer remains hidden, the bush is transformed by spatially curated sounds, brought into an interrelationship between a choreography of hidden light-sources in the interior, as organs of the bush. In the performance there is an exploration of the morphogenetic quality of sound and light, how it can infuse organic matter, through unexpectedness and states of surrender, letting the technology and 'the bush as the agent' come to coherent forms of expression, to be experienced by the audience.
