Music Dance Performance

Tipke shows how dada the encounter between two people and a piano can be.
The chaos that arises between the keys and the fingers playing the piano is no less difficult to get under control than the chaos between a man and a woman. Whether its childish nonsense or a yearning for old times: there is music when the turbulence and excesses in the lives of both characters settle like dust on the pianoforte. As it goes with any unhappy love story, the initial Hey, look, it's me! turns into the inevitable at the end of the day. And itŒs then that the bad dreams start. Texts, movements and sounds have a resonance of Karl Valentin; Monty Python always looks on the bright side, passes the weapons in the battle of the sexes and proposes blathering toasts to Vaudeville. HereŒs cheers!
