Text read during the performance: Wetterbericht by Danja Schilling after the project Weather reports you.
An archive of weather reports from Iceland edited by Roni Horn.
"Als eine Art Tross bewegten wir uns alle Richtung 'Herberge', (...).
Ich dachte wir müssten uns hinlegen, dieweil Gegenstände,
Mützen und auch schon Menschen an uns vorbeigeschleudert wurden. (...)"
"As a kind of entourage we all moved forward in the direction of the lodge, (...).
I thought we need to lay down, meanwhile objects, hats, as well as people were catapulting by. (...)"
Danja Schilling

instructions by Hana van der Kolk
"...get down on your hands and knees and close your eyes. Begin crawling slowly..."
Pilgrims crawl around and over the frozen lake,
to see the tip of the church or the lights of a procession of the mythical sunken city Kitezh in Russia.
