FigurenTheater Karin Schaefer The first puppet - theatre - performance of the festival was Karin Schäfer's Figuren-Theater "String Time" from Vienna. Based on «Dinner for One», an old and well-beloved sketch, seven images appear on stage, represented by seven marionettes. String TIme

A rap-dancer, a fire-eater, a pilot.... they mingle into the old ladie's dream, but keep their very special character.

I walked around and tried to read all the texts, which were placed around the palace by TOTART.
Text has an important role in russian conceptual art, and Natalia Abalakova, and Anatoly Zhigalov are very aware of this. They cross the borders between art and life and life and art.
I understand, that the text to the right is only information, where as the text to the right is art.
Sainkho Namtchylak
Sainkho Namtchylak's performance was a real surprise. I never saw her performing so strongly. Her solo project was more than just a solo-concert. As she told me later, she dedicated this concert to the young people, who should learn something new: a mixture of archaic images, the sounds of modern music and the tunes from traditional times as well.
Everywhere intensive discussion took place. Here you see Milena Orlova, art critic from Moscow, discussing with Yuri Sobolev, art director of Interstudio. Milena Orlova and Yuri Sobolev
After the concert of the swiss-dutch group OTHOLITHEN (big, heavy electronic sound-clusters)....
... a jam session finished this night.

Tarasov, Resitzky, Goedecke and Dirk Bruinsma (from Otholithen) performed together with Espe Alma Tadena.

The last gig was a didjeridoo-duo: Slava Zubkov and Goedecke.

You will find more information on Otholithen soon on this pages.
