Propelled onto the international scene in 2002 by her extraordinary performance Death is certain in which she finds a variety of ways to kill inoffensive cherries, Eva Meyer-Keller is developing a work where visual art and object theatre meet. With her, the inanimate acts as a double identity capable of evoking the most profound human relationships. In her new production, Pulling Strings, the artist from Berlin is literally pulling theatre’s strings. Assembled on stage are a series of objects usually relegated to the wings: a ladder, an electric cable, a plant... Attached to strings, they begin a strange ballet: an extinguisher launches into pirouettes, a microphone stand falls from the sky. And what initially appears like a very simple system is transformed into an organic network of encounters and interactions taking the audience’s imagination with it.
