Details
“Every spot holds some special effect in store for the visitor. At the entrance the dreamy performers carrying tapes in their backpacks bring forward a little bit didactically the “bamboo mythology” serving as ars poetica of the performance. Later on we meet a group bamboo stilted people balancing long bamboo tubes in their hands.
Afterwards our path is crossed by a pulsating being in a textile bubble wriggling in a bamboo cell. In the meantime videos with oriental inspiration can be seen on the low textile counter-ceiling. The shadows of the bamboo poles are scattered in the space like giant jackstraws.” (Ágnes Veronika Tóth, Rise against inertness of perception (Lázadás az érzékelés tunyasága ellen), Balkon (Contemporary Art Magazine), 2004/03)
