Andaguraundo, stage performance with video
2003

Idea and realization: Arved Schultze and Steffi Wurster
in co-operation with Gabriele Avanzinelli and BBB Johannes Deimling

Baltic Biennale, Teatr Kana, Szczecin,
7th Rencontres Internationales PARIS-BERLIN, interdisciplinary festival for film, video and media art, Podewil Berlin

The performance Andaguraundo was inspired by Haruki Murakami’s novel Underground about the sarin gas attacks in the Tokyo subway in 1995. The five tableaux, which include a video, explore the motivation and copycat effect of terrorism in a general context of violence, counter-violence, tension and helplessness. "We fly into the TV tower, spray poison gas and grill our marshmallows over the glowing bones of a Korean student who has just committed suicide by self-immolation."
