Guter Dinge is a choreographic dialogue between three machine-things and one performer, combining elements from theater play, installation and dance. With crude, unpredictable patterns of movement, Dirigentenkreisel [conductor's spintop], Staksende Wippe [staking rocker] and Wabbelndes Seegras [wobbling seaweed] wander, wriggle and swing through the room: they are disturbers and disturbed - characters on a stage.
With scenographic means, Guter Dinge investigates the interplay between machines, performers, spoken text, choreography and spatial elements such as boundaries and sound. In terms of content, Guter Dinge is a decentralized assemblage, a non-hierarchical collection of ideas: What results from an interplay between two partners who must remain unequal? Do we have to infuse things with a soul before we respect them and take them seriously?
