For the first time, Manfred Erjautz presents an excerpt of his ‘Opera scultura’ The closer I get, the more I drift afar., which will premiere on December 4 and 5, 2024 at Dom Im Berg, Graz.
Erjautz sees The closer I get, the more I drift afar. as a river that, divided into four acts, floods the space and meanders in a musical and visual-sculptural sequence. Performative side arms open up an artificial meadowscape of meta-levels that behave like communicating vessels. The transformation as a primary stylistic device turns the dot at the end of a sentence into the beginning of a drawing. The closer I get, the more I drift afar., makes inner landscapes comprehensible and poses fundamental questions about human finiteness that exist in each of us beyond the real present.
Tickets for the premiere are available via the website of the Grazer Spielstätten and Dom Im Berg HERE.
