Performance Geo Wyex

Location: Sarphatipark Amsterdam, near the fountain

During a university staff meeting / at the bottom of a river / at the site of the big bang, an esteemed professor, chair of Muck Studies Dept, collapses through and with a constellation of objects, processes, and material in a murky and gaseous scene of communion with that which is yet to arrive. A dance with the immeasurable.

What is there left to say? The solo performance borrows from Samuel Beckett’s classic absurdist play Waiting for Godot and Luther Vandross’ 1981 hit single “Never Too Much,” as an interminable relay between the nothing and the something that is all that we got when we get together.

The performance is an extension of Wyex’s ongoing project Muck Study. Muck Study is a leaky method of approach to the archive’s soggy limits, using the sensorial as an investigative tool to allow for a certain squelch of history and meaning. Muck Studies Dept. conducts his research by “touching the bottom” of shallow, murky water, “looking for stars, outta what stinks.”

Please bring a pot or pan and a wooden spoon for a collective sounding moment.
