Steffi Weismann: Fountain

for 10 + x performers, 20 + y plastic cups, 1 bottle of water and an audience (Version 2017)

Fountain is visible music, or more precisely, an acoustic tableau vivant. On stage, a group of five performers form themselves into a kind of fountain sculpture. While their gestures and the creation of sound initially follow a cycle within the group, the rules are later sabotaged by individuals. The processes of circulation ultimately lead to a spatial sound that is shaped by the participation of the audience. The composition can be understood as a poetic image for an economy of sharing.
