Elke Krystufek: HUB

“A new project is, of course, always different from the ones before. The previous works on the theme of love had frame stories, but became videos and, as such, only partly relevant for the theatre due to the many places and outdoor recordings. Naturally, the idea of the frame comes from painting, but, at the same time, it is also nice in the theatre when a piece ends where it began. Nevertheless, HUB also has the motto: forget everything that came before me. There is existing text material, so far the method has been to throw everything into a cocktail blender and see what kind of cocktail would come out. The work process is best described through permanent change. There will be influences from life and literature, but influences will also be fended off. So just like in real life, there will be a permanent change of new, picked up and abandoned ideas. Enlargements and reductions. The story focuses on two people, to keep things simple. In between, there will be dance interludes expressing the story as dance. It might well be that the logic of the story will simply have its own logic that develops from the story. Just like people, art and theatre pieces also search for their place, and it’s always the right place. Inshallah.”
