„At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is.“
“At the Still Point of the Turning World“ is a performance piece at the crossroads of puppetry and dance. A dancer, two puppeteers and a musician are at the edge of a throng of puppets stored in their bags and hanging from long strings. They form a compact, motionless community. Dance and puppetry seek to move one another. The material embodies the junction point between the dancer and the puppeteer’s body.
