'top play'

video/sound-performance

première: March 1999, Altena-Chapel, Kontich

performers: Ilse Wanten, Hai Ottenheim, Alex Ceulemans and Toon Van Ishoven

'top.play' is a 20 minute performance with 4 performers, a white wall with 2 doors and a videoprojector. In this performance the videotape determines light, sound, build-up, timing and actions of the performers: they carry out certain actions and eventually meet their own "cloned" projected "body-double". This results in a sharply timed choreography that confuses the perception of the spectator.

'top.play'doesn't follow a linear story, but has its own internal logic making abstract associations of people and actions as in a dream. The piece was also performed at the opening of 'Transito', a solo-exhibition in March 1999 in a former church in the village of Kontich. After the opening the small stage was transformed into a video-installation in which a tape-loop of a man running in and out of the doors was projected.
