Ears on wheels, talking cups, magical sound-balloons controlled by the audience and a guitar-shredding oboe. The new absurdist performance Performania by the duo Perforator – oboist Marlies van Gangelen and inventor Akim Moiseenkov – is inexplicable, a unique visual and auditory spectacle. The oboe merges with the decor, movements become music and an army of self-built instruments come to life.
