Kapital is choreographed, performed and thus conceived by two of us, Tina and Gregor, together.

Since each of us will be several, there will be quite a crowd.

Here we have made use of everything that came within range, what was closest as well as farthest away.

The elements of dance circulate like goods, like a person that plunges deep into itself only to surface up easier.

We assign clever pseudonyms to prevent recognition in this circulation.

Why then we will keep our own names? Out of habit, purely out of habit. To make ourselves unrecognizable in turn.

To render imperceptible, not ourselves, but what makes us dance, feel, and think. Like any other movement, exchange of goods, products or capital, which holds no value on its own, as long as we don't assign it to it.

Also because it's nice to dance like everybody else, to say the sun rises, when everybody knows it's only a manner of speaking.

To reach, not the point where one no longer says I, but the point where it is no longer of any importance whether one says I.

We are no longer ourselves. Each will know his own. You will aid us, inspire us, multiply us.
