"On the screen I will live even when
my body is dead."
An international congress loses focus of its
topic as its participants are flooded with information. In the emerging
collective storm of neurons, forbidden things start to surface:
passions, desires, melancholy, lust and violence are revealed. And
in this experimental setting the characters start turning into sorcerers
apprentices. Their images develop a life of their own and after
a while, it is impossible to tell the difference between the original
and the copy, between reality and its medial image. The Plasma performance
is a live installation, a play on words, a multi-facetted score
of actions, texts, sounds and images.
European performance group Plasma was
founded by writer, director and set-designer Lukas Bangerter together
with actor Wowo Habdank in 1999. The group brings together actors
from Germany, Austria and Switzerland and calls itself militantly
poetic. For Blue Moon: An Experiment to Prove the Existence of Soul,
the Norwegian actress Ane Skumsvoll joins the group. Plasma aims
at turning social conventions into arts realities where the
common instruments of perception cannot be applied anymore.
