ANDREA PAGNES AND VERENA STENKE
ONE EARTH'S DREAMING
The male performer is under a carpet of earth, fully covered by earth and grass shaping a sort of a hill, a mini-scale, soft landscape. He is wearing a headset microphone transmitting his deep breath continuously. Flowers cover the field. The female performer is sitting on this. She collects the flowers one by one and stitches them with a fine twine to the skin of her fingertips.
Papers and pencils are given to the spectators: they are requested to write a thought. They knot the etiquettes on the dress of the woman and then shift away some earth.
When the male performer is completely freed from earth and grass, he stands up, washes and dresses in a simple suit.
The woman takes off her dress with the written wishes.
They give out the flowers to the visitors. The earth is our witness.
