On Urgency was created from 120 answers to surveys that we distributed both on the web and in-person. We carried out a one-month residency in the spaces of Theater Expedition Metropolis and then presented a Preview and a full Performance during the HofFestSpiele, Community Art Festival organized by the same theater.
To create this performance we developed a working method to translate the surveys into scenes, images, improvisations, music, texts and drawings.
In the survey we asked: What is urgent for you now? Why? Where do you feel this urgency (where in your body, in your emotions, sensations)? How do you react? Can you use an image for your urgency? What are you ready for, now?
