Roll Over And Over And Over

It all begins in the wildly romantic courtyard of brut nordwest. Inside, in the large hall, there is a bulky object with a lot hidden inside, which is gradually brought to the surface. Two performers take on the object and interact with the cylinder. The sounds of a trumpet buzz through the air. A figure dances lucidly in the distance, while the audience accompanies the cylinder and the performers on their journey through the hall.
As in earlier works, Oleg Soulimenko explores the performative possibilities of geometric objects. In Roll Over and Over and Over, however, the cylinder becomes a concrete projection space for the violence that surrounds us in various forms – be it as a directly experienced reality, as a memory, virtually, structurally or symbolically. Together with the performers Dafne Moreno and Frederik Marroquín, Oleg Soulimenko leaves conventional speaking about violence behind and opens it up to the unconscious: an oscillation between sounds and words, between seemingly naive and postmodern narration, different speech acts, towards a language that physically affects us.
