The Swiss based company Asphalt Piloten is bringing us their TAPE RIOT. An interdisciplinary performance which exists in a public urban utopia. Dance, visual arts, music and video meet one another and react to the environment. The creation of new spaces, intervals and changes of view, playing with perspectives through the use of adhesive tape, allows the viewer to escape their everyday environment for a short time and perhaps even revitalizes it.
Tape Riot is an infiltration, inviting the questioning of the moment. Initially it merely causes the onlookers’ gaze to shift slightly, prompting silent curiosity: Is this normal? Is this real? Two dancers disrupt the pace of passersby pushing the degree of dissociation still further. Lines are drawn splitting the space… Are they defining a frame of reference or opening up perspectives to the beyond? Sounds intermingle and the road signs blend in; the traffic flow has switched direction. This dynamism triggers the strange sensation of having seen the urban space quite differently and with a smile… Did it change our way of looking at things? Or just our point of view?
Tape Riot is presented thanks to the mobility programme of the IN SITU platform in the frame of the ACT project, co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
