INTERMEDIA PERFORMANCE

Based on „The Mediterranian in the Ancient World“ by Fernand Braudel.

Initiated by the reknown german improvising trio
„das mollsche gesetz“ in collaboration with Anthony Moore and visual artist group „TELEFANTE, „The Longue Dureé“ draws its material as well as its inspiration from Fernand Braudel’s unique text „the mediterranean in the ancient world“. Braudel’s very poetic description
of a remarkable virtual time-travel from prehistory
to the ancient world serves as a starting point for this captivating audiovisual performance.

Video installation, music and text connect themselves to different layers of time and tempo and refer, each in their discrete materiality, directly to Braudel’s theory of a 3-layer history.
