Cabbage Heads, Brighton UK
Soundwaves Festival 2011, Brighton UK
A collaboration with the performance group LOST PARADE
About 100 cabbages, red and white
5 female performers, plain clothes in plain colours, shoes with heals
Location: Cafeteria, University of Brighton UK
Two large piles of cabbages with about 50 cabbages each are placed at the opposite ends of the cafeteria. One performer lies down close to one of the piles and a second performer begins to cover her with cabbages so that only a few body parts remain visible. When all the cabbages have been distributed the performer sits down and observes her partner until she begins to move and to extract herself from the load. The partners swap roles and the second one lies down to be covered by her collaborator. The same occurs at the other end of the room with the other pile of cabbages. Gradually the two couples move towards each other and build joint heaps around two of the performers in the centre of the space.
The performers also begin to include audiences by placing cabbages around their legs, in their lap and against other body parts. In addition the performers peel individual leaves of the cabbages in proximity of members of the audience to create auditory experiences.
