A performance, installation and video

In her production Pulling Strings Eva Meyer-Keller literally takes the threads into her own hands. On the stage are objects that have been assembled from backstage, artists cloakroom, technical warehouse and kitchen: a ladder, a broom, an extension-cable, a plant, a scissor, a thermos jug, tape and so on. Attached to the objects are threads which are being pulled by the two performers (Eva Meyer-Keller and Irina Müller). Thus they set this mix of objects into motion. A fire extinguisher pirouettes, a microphone stand falls down. What on first sight seems to be very simple turns out to be more and more complex, inspiring the imagination of the beholder. Similar to earlier works like Death is Certain, Good Hands or Bauen nach Katastrophen Pulling Strings is also located at the intersection of performance, art and object theatre. The focus this time will be on the choreographic aspect. The objects start to dance.
