19 Uhr, Performance: "Neckless Organ" von Yoonah Song (20 Min.), Bibliotheksgarten

At the very moment we breathe, both sides cross into each other’s boundary. Before we are able to exhale on our own, we begin by sharing someone else’s breath. All of us have experience of breathing with a breath that was not our own.

From this state of shared breathing, where there is no clear boundary between you and I, we awaken our own organs and continue the act of sharing breath independently. The breath I inhale now might be someone’s last breath, and the one I exhale may become another’s first. Through breath, we exist together, beyond time and space. 'Neckless Organ' is a performance that makes this visible. In the space, performers will share their breathing sounds and blow into instruments. These instruments have an organic structure. They can be connected or separated, functioning independently or as a system. Instruments inflate and deflate in response to the performers’ breaths, making the invisible breath visible. As breath passes through the instrument, it transforms into sound, and the body itself becomes a resonating chamber. At the center of all this lies the human breath, which is finite, yet eternal.
