MISU

Performance intervention in public space

Water – in Japanese: misu – is an essential element for life, without water we could not exist. But water is heavily abused by human being by contamination and pollution. Water is the habitat of countless numbers of species. Lavishly wasted water is elsewhere missed in agony – filled in questionable bottles, sold as expensive potable water as a lifestyle pro- duct though it should be for free like air – the basic substances for all living. Consequently water is the main protagonist of this performance.

The ritual is questioned and newly invented – but appears like an old traditional Japanese ritual. Water will be honored and put in positive vibration and given to passengers and the public in form of tiny drops. The concentration and the slowlyness of the performer offers for the audience the possibilty to activate his own emotional and intuitiv associations.
