betwixt and between
Nicola Feiks and Mario Strk performing betwixt and between in Brut Konzerthaus, Vienna.
The playhouse is dark. Two performers enter the space, each of them equipped with a mobile phone capable of recording video. Slowly the light is turned on illuminating the audience while the stage remains dark, thus hiding the camerawoman and -man. After three minutes, the room is darkened and both performers leave the stage. End of the first part.
Several minutes later, youtube.com is displayed on a videowall. A search for ‘betwixt and between 001’ is run, the result projected. In it, the audience is confronted with the movie recorded in part one. Even so, to the soundtrack of the mobilephone – recording a voiceover has been added, directing all visible actions milliseconds in advance, formulated as imperative, thus turning the spectators into involuntary actors. End of second part.
