Three performers walk on huge grey materials that slowly rise under them. When fully inflated the audience are invited inside the 12x 18m. big bubble and sees a body in ever shifting colors floating like a cocoon (puppe) over their heads. This is the start of the performance PUST/BREATH that aims to bring attention on the breath as an interactive element connecting us all. Dance (Liv Hanne Haugen) and electronic sounds (performed live by one of Norways leading and internationally accalaimed electronic musicians Per Martinsen) communicates abstractly and open - sometimes violently and loud, other times soft and quiet, with each other, always with the sound of the breath as a baseholder and supporter. Textfragments by nutrionist Vibeke Thorp brings attention to the constant cosmic rythmic relation between micro and micro while visual artist Lawrence Malstaf is manipulating, pulling and re-shaping the bubble in a dance that also makes the audience move. Finally the audience themselves have the chance to monitor their own breath standing side by side on a line while dropping pebbles in a papercup leaving us wondering how many more breaths to go.
To breathe is the first and last we do. We breathe about 1000 liters a day. Withoput breath, no life.
