Catch the Time Catch the time is a durational performance in which time is not a fixed measurement, but a fluid presence, shaped by the performer’s intention and the evolving choreography. The act becomes a ritual: filling time without breaking it, until the alarm sounds.

The performance invites improvisation, chance, accidental moments, and poetic gestures - in the spirit of Fluxus.

Time leads to actions and play.

Catch the time.

Perform with time.

Perform Collectively.

One person begins.

After 10 seconds, the second person begins.

After 10 more seconds, the third person begins.

(and so on)

Pick up a clock. Set a time for the alarm.

Every performer decides on the time.

While the clock is ticking, perform an action or more:

create sound using your voice, body or objects around you as instruments.

When the alarm rings, take a breath/ sigh and leave the performance space.

The performance ends at the last alarm, with a last breath/ sigh.

Note:

Improvise with the objects as instruments while actively listening to each other.

All instruments must be selected from within the current space.
