Theatre installation
A performative installation resulting from the attempt to translate Friedrich Hölderlin's text "Urtheil und Seyn" a.k.a. "Sein, Urteil, Modalität" into theatre. The two pages of the one-sheeted manuscript, none of which can be recognised as being the first one, became two actors, standing back to back, speaking simultaneously, exhibited and exposed like a museum piece. Being three performers (Dominique Baur Jasper Metzbaur and me), at all times one of us would be resting. Thus the text and its interference with itself wasn't depending on any single person.
Performed for one hour each day on January 23 and 24, 2012 in lecture halls of the Neue Universität building of the University of Heidelberg.
