21/9/2009, Hafenhalle Linz
Five European artists—a group about as diverse as it gets—set up an experiment. BeBeTwixt explores the nexus of movement and motionlessness, collective and the individual, norm and exception. The stage becomes a mobile base camp that accommodates a random assemblage these performers constitute. Within the established spaces in-between everything is challenged – identities, relations, roles and positions of power. BeBeTwixt is a liminal game threading the edges of unbearable certainty.
