BOY WITH HANG

 

solo performance

 

A young man in a ghillie suit – a camouflage outfit used by the military – moves across Villa Esche and its surrounding garden. Equipped with a folding stool, he settles in various locations within the exhibition. The effectiveness of his camouflage depends on the places he chooses. While seated, he plays the hang, a UFO-shaped percussion instrument invented in 2000, which emits soothing sounds.

​​

The performance took place as part of the exhibition Was das Gespenst nicht ​kennt – Specters of the Afternoon at Villa Esche, Chemnitz, in 2021, and was performed by Andre Schmidt.
