Telemark

Telemark
performance, 2008
by Leo Daedalus, with a cast of thousands
part of the Demagnetic Cabaret

Leo designed the Demagnetic finale for everyone to join in. Like a party, Telemark has no explicit ending. People do things. They eventually wander out.

As part of the piece, Anna and María draw slips of paper out of a cowboy hat, reading them to each other. The text is from a 1959 interview with Tristan Tzara, known as Dada into Surrealism. Anna and María were cast especially for their francophony.

Listen to the original interview (thanks to UbuWeb):

During the piece, Leo invited the audience to cut his tie à la Nam Jun Paik.
