Ungunstraum - Alles zu seiner Zeit
Haug / Dross / Wetzel
Ungunstraum - Alles zu seiner Zeit
Ruth Hommelsheim
The UNGUNSTRAUM project (1995-1998)
work in progress in 17 site specific stages and miscellaneous side works.
HAUG/DROSS/WETZEL started in January 1995 from Giessen with a series of shows, that lasted up to 1998. The singular pieces were designed as stages in an ongoing process. The pieces of work where developed site-specific and could only be shown at the places they have been created for.
UNGUNSTRAUM was a Memory-Machine for travelling, that went on trips itself as well, a model for travelling, the visited regions were documented, the maps were used again to create spaces which were to be experienced in a different way, where the piece could take place.
Whereas we ourselves were performing within the first stages, the centre of the project shifted more and more towards pieces where other peoples’ lives and working spaces were integrated and documented.
During all performances which were created for conventional theatre spaces, burning candles were installed in front of the bass speakers. The candlelight was extinguished through the bass trembling movement. Within the second performance, the theatre brought up the question of public security already and firemen were integrated within the play in order to take care of the ‘open fire’. This marks out the starting point of working with the so-called Ready-Made-Perfomers on stage.
It is just the way it is and still it is somehow different; doubts are arising, on which foundation the piece of work is based, asking where does reality end – where does theatre begin.
