about several feet under water & stowaways : comments by hase

several feet under water is a laboratory and artist-encounter between Hase and Branco. we focus on the motion beyond the edges of the body: the unmet bodies.

we look for the musical dramaturgy of 'migrating body cells' inside different settings of our work, always aiming to give birth to a fusion between a known and an unknown element of our tools.

we direct chaotic patterns and reposition ourselves. each content in discourse is transforming the premises. it is an ongoing repositioning of single body-cells, while we look each other as a human being playing.

the body-land is changing with the movement of its migrants. we call a group of body-cells who appear as a shadow penetrating for speech: stowaways.

while already functioning as part of the political landscape these stowaways seem not to be quite fully recognized as a political subject.

the moment they cross the border, they are already inside the constitution of the land.

HELLO

movement and sound is unauthorizable because it cannot be manifested. it is always in the process of construction: the longing, the memory inside a movement, a text, a sound, a song or stillness.

several feet under water is like a global city reconfiguring a partly denationalized space that enables a partial reinvention of citizenship.

in ist essence, it is a redefinition of citizenship itself.
