arrows pointing everywhere
life is a whirlwind of activity
-->in the middle of programming a musical interface for chamber opera by Yannis Kyriakides, Escamotage
A magician comes on stage to perform the old ‘cup and ball’ routine but things don’t seem to go as they should. His female assistant has an obsession with quantum physics with a particular fixation for Schrödinger’s Cat, the famous gedankexperiment of the Austrian physicist, which describes how if we take reality to a quantum level a cat can be both dead and alive at the same time. All this unfolds in a peculiar manner, time doesn’t flow in the normal direction, and the failures of the magicians on stage are constantly thrown up again and again, recurring in fluxuating time fields; and like the cat in the gedankexperiment, the performers become trapped in a state of limbo.FNM Staatsoper, Stuttgart to be produced with VeenFabriek, July '05.
