expiry date [2014] on tour
Expiry Date begins where life takes its final breath: in the last hour before we die.
On stage an old man.
With hands outstretched he reaches for the memories and the last minutes that are escaping him. In the mechanical scenery around him, the failing time becomes palpable. A sandglass, an aquarium-tree, bullets and domino bricks mark both the beginning and the end of this abstract summary of a life filled with struggle and beauty.
Expiry Date appears as an entanglement of emotions and movement, blurring the lines between past and present...
And through this semi-archeological retrospective, the despair grows that not a single memory or moment of passion is immune from oblivion.
