TIDE
Performance
Date:
Location: Basel
Dance: Gianna Grünig, Bettina Neuhaus
Music: Martina Berther
Tide: Middle English 'time, season; recurring interval, space of time'.
Also, 'the daily fluctuation in the level of the sea caused by the gravitational influence of the moon and the sun'.
The spaces where we perform TIDE are in a state of ephemerality that is almost as ephemeral as a real-time performance itself.
Gaston Bachelard writes in the chapter House and Universe of The Poetics of Space:
‘….we reach a point where we doubt that we ever lived where we lived (…) This house, as I see it, is sort of an airy structure that moves about on the breath of time. It really is open to the wind of another time. (…) The universe comes to inhabit the house.’
