WHITHER AWAY concert : performance : film KOALA VOICE BABALAN

Whither away is no mirror. It is no depository. In a project of fragmented present, Koala Voice Babalan use an abundance of new hit-like riffs to pierce mischievously the mute European megalopolis of Brandenburg. The way they do it, you will be humming their choruses to yourself before the performance even ends:

Where should we go, where should we go if we could run away
Why run away when we have a plan so cool
Two plastic guns, one pink Cadillac
Go to the border, wait until it settles
The stir caused by this Bonnie-Clyde commotion.

Like notes without a central message babbling away, the performance unfolds on the screen and beyond. The poetic attempt at the property-free state outlines the inseparability of communication and misunderstanding, humor and fiction with the value of reality. Blind interactivity. Let your eye fall upon me, when I’m well trained, since no one is smart and beautiful all seven days a week.

Don’t think more than necessary.
