River Room

River Room unfolds in a multi-media landscape. For the hour of the performance, the audience is invited to birdwatch, space out, focus on details, and test a spatial awareness of the nonhuman entities present (or not present.) River Room is an impossible game to map an environment that is in motion, a fragment of the world in its becoming. This map is still but not static: it is quivering, flowing, spinning. If everything is moving where is here?


The performance takes place in a room in Prague, and Prague is conjured into this one room. The local flora and fauna, the cobblestones and the river, and you watching them are all woven together into a sequence of slow images that flow like a river. Under the surface, the fragments of the room are arranging and rearranging themselves into stories. Anything can be a bird if you are not careful
