Survival, or how to survive Murphy's law is an objecttheatre performance by TAMTAM objektentheater from The Netherlands.
It is a wordles visual black comedy performed with found objects on a sandtable by two visible players.
This play was made together with dutch writer, poet and painter Wim Hofman
TAMTAM connect theatre to visual art and add a very important and custom composed soundtrack to the images, but no text. Although you can see the images and hear the music this video is nowhere near teh experience audience has in the theatre where they really believe that the main character K. is alive.
This video shows half of the videocompilation that is being made right now, just to show you some of the atmosphere and images.
In this first part of the performance Murphy's law is only slightly starting to have its impact on poor K.
But if you know that Kafka's The Process was an important inspiration, and if you know Murphy's law (the worst things will happen on the worst possible moments) you can imagine how bad it will get in the end...
Hope to meet you on the tour that will celebrate TAMTAM's 30th anniversary in 2009!
