Swiss National Broadcast: A radical evening that throws you back on your own perception.
bz: This is brutal, it hurts and stimulates thought, especially because of the blatantly unfulfilled expectations and wishes of a dance theatre.

A co-production with the Wiener Festwochen.

A space between no man's land, film set and white cube. In it six dancers, a piano quartet and a billboard. They warm up their instruments, stretch their bodies, meet, lose themselves, disappear. While the flickering light of a video projection pervades the room, a beat slowly develops, a pulse.

Making films means watching people die in 24 frames per second, according to the famous observation of French director Jean Cocteau. The new evening by Boris Nikitin, in a cross-fading of music theatre, dance and video art, appropriates this sentence and directs the gaze to the integration of our bodies into time. What happens when they are subjected to organic processes? When do our bodies become moved and moving images, this fragile state we call identity?

With " 24 frames per second " Nikitin follows up his pieces "Attempt of Dying" and "Hamlet" and creates a musical painting about the vulnerability of the body, between documentary realism, appropriation art and surrealism. The evening looks not least at what takes place between the images, between the movements - at the gaps in space, at the passing of time.

"24 frames per second" is a collaboration with the piano quartet Kukuruz, the choreographer Lee Méir and the video artist Georg Lendorff.
