Rites de passage
Manuela Hartel (München/DE) performance, video installation, set, voice & lyrics
Felix Leuschner (München/DE) composition
Gerd Kötter/Felix Leuschner (München/DE) organ
Premiere in October 2012 at St. Luke’s Church in Munich on the occasion of the symposium “overtures ZeitRäume” – 4 elements + 1
Manuela Hartel transformed the altar area of the church into a multi-layered space of experience in which chanting, organ music, and video sequences overlap. The central motif is a swing attached below the dome, on which the artist swings back and forth: always facing the audience, moving in and out of the center of the nave, like a classic clock pendulum. The repetitive movements cause the natural balance to falter or, medically speaking, lead to a balance disorder.
