A project by Menschen haben Krizen
Performance with Ana Filip (RO/SK), Barbara Huber (AT/SK)

The karasssuite is a multidisciplinary project that allows for a variety of artists from different backgrounds to collaborate on a complex media piece based on quotes from ‘Cat’s Craddle’ by Kurt Vonnegut (1963). The pieces from the artists are being uploaded on the database and that is the starting point for the performance – the database is used in a real time situation as a source of material for the performance itself. Menschen haben Krizen is a collective name for all the artists participating in the project. This time Menschen haben Krizen are a! visual chaosdroid (RO/SK),
b# (AT/SK) and joining in from Taipei Ana Threat (AT/CN).
