Impossible Actions is a procedural work for ten performers who, within a precisely measured and structured working period, engage with the procedures (structure, tasks, and dramaturgy) of the dance solo Nutricula in order to realize it individually and collectively. The piece begins in extreme slowness, continues with a series of tasks in which the performers work separately, and then, through spatial convergence and a shift in lighting, unites them in a sequence titled Echo, where—at the open end of the piece—they abandon their separate spaces, agreed-upon tasks, and concepts, coming together in play with each other, with duration, and with the audience. The endings of Impossible Actions have differed across performances: some audience members left the space and later returned, staying until the end. Impossible Actions is a combination of precisely structured and open work, a task both for performers and spectators who strive to find possible solutions to impossible propositions, to carry imagination beyond the known and comfortable, and to provide the “impossible” with tangible alternatives.
