THEATRE OF THE SENSORIAL 

Understanding knowledge through sensorial and experiential means, and through other than rational consciousness states. 



CURRENT PROJECT:

WATER INTO WINE III

Through action, Water into Wine III establishes a ritual of death, chaos, and purification. It is a long durational work which took place on the evening of the summer solstice this past year and will continue to tour in several galleries and spaces. Its research encompasses scores, drawings, smell and color charts, as well as in depth written and recorded testimonials from actors.

Composed of five elements: carbon (charcoal), wine, sea salt (salt water), sun, and human bodies, the participants undergo a transformation both personal and collective, drawing on various Pagan, Shinto, Buddhist, and Catholic ceremonies. Focusing on states of bardo and trance induction, the work is realized through the transmutation of tangible materials in incorporeal forms. 

Water into Wine III is a collaboration with Swiss and internationally based artists, actors and Butoh, medicine, and yoga practitioners, in addition to composers specializing in the Theatre of Knowledge through Sound Actionism.  

Image based captation is not the only source of  recording, nor is it the most important. Due to the highly sensory experiential nature of the work, it is necessary to be there in real time in order to understand and enter into the performance.
