About the Project

"I walked along ...", a fragmented phrase from the beginning of a poetic ramble by Goethe ("Ich ging im Walde so für mich hin") serves as the guiding theme for the creation process of the performance: to walk along ... just for oneself, not in order to find something that one expects to find, but to find what is there and reveals itself. And to go there again, listen again ... look ... and take note – of whether, perhaps, there is something that would like to become involved in an exchange: "to seek for this … our thoughts were bent …".
