About
“seven verses” is an invitation for performers to explore the space and the dynamics of a performance situation.
The work consists of a series of short verses; six solo and one duo. These can be played and combined as the performers wish: one after another, overlapping, simultaneously.
The character of each verse suggests a different performance situation and position: played into the ground, against a wall, sitting amongst the audience.
From seven verses and two performers, an infinite number of performance situations can arise.
