“WHAT IF LIVING WAS JUST KILLING TIME”. Bande á Part – Tanzbare Veranstaltung für Außenseiter

WHAT IF LIVING WAS JUST KILLING TIME is a touching and somehow hydronic way of wasting time, on deciding how to use the time we received as a gift. As I am doing right now, writing this. And you are doing so, reading it. So, as an artist, I choose to dance this unchangeable imaginary timeline. My will is to waste seconds, minutes and maybe hours honoring movement and the life I was given with it, celebrating the unknown and laughing about it but also mourning it.
I consciously take the decision of being present in this eternal dilemma we constantly fill with duties and appointments, avoiding thinking about the purpose of existence. There is no sense in what we do unless it has some meaning for us.
