CRUZ BROTHERS / RED RIBBON

(TRANSITIONAL ACT : #1)

In this ACT #1 the Cruz Brothers swallowed three meters of red ribbon. Sharing half the amount of length within their mouth as a storage space, they gently pulled the ribbon out of their mouth exposing the soaked ribbon. It was clear that anticipating the audience to perform the closure of the performance was by cutting the ribbon. It took three people to completely cut and finish the performance. The Cruz Brothers claim this symbolic act as a signifier for a starting transition, a celebration of an event and a shared spectacle.

INSTALLATION / TRACES /

It is almost absurd to claim that all the installation / performance pieces did not relate at all. I feel that finding a similarity within the pieces might be too forced. Although most pieces incorporated human interaction (which contradicts my claim that everything did not relate). This activation of spectatorship either required a physical connection or a cerebral engagement.


If I were to describe the totality of the pieces in one word, I'd say it's all about being HUMAN.
