Sebastian Matthias works with movements developed in the relation between dancers and audience, which worked well with my interest in interacting objects and including the audience in the architecture of the room. I created four different species, like living organisms from outer space, eggs hanging from their bodies. They covered all the technical solutions for the piece, their eyes were the lights for the show, and the eggs had the sound system within them. The seatings for the audience, covered in gallon also reminding of eggshelfes, were formed in different shapes. Made of rubbergum gave a bouncy way of sitting, made of wood in akward angles gave an unsecured,filled with air a floating and filled with sand a laid back sitting. The dancers reacted and interacted with the movements that the different ways of sitting created. A dramaturgy that changed when the audience moved around swapping seats.
