House Of Play is proud to collaborate with Performative Croquis, an artistic constellation that explores the performative elements found in the traditional drawing discipline, Croquis, together with live music.
For each performance, new poetic stories are told, and for this special evening, we’re bringing Performative Croquis and Rope Art together in a sizzling mix of visual expression.
Performative Croquis opens the first part of the evening with the poetic narrative WITNESS and WITNESSING. A reflection on life's transitions - transformation, liberation and anchoring.
Performers' bodies move slowly and symbiotically to an ambient soundscape played live with cello and electronics. The performance consists of a combination of ritual actions, movements and expressive body positions, together with advanced forms of rope art, which the audience is invited to draw, or simply experience.
For the second part of the evening, we invite a number of couples from the audience to tie, while the rest of us witness and - if you want to - draw what you see.
