There are always moments when man begins to think about meaning, and this often happens when I'm composing. One weekend when I was composing at home, I suddenly heard the bells of the church next to my apartment, and began to get distracted, began to make associations, and then to give meaning to every single thing around me, feeling that they were like a web of relationships that surrounded me. My thoughts deeper and deeper until another bell rang and it was as if I woke up from a dream. I suddenly realized that all of these had no more meaning than what I had given them, that they were nothing more than sounds and objects.
Enping Yang, Distances für zwei Performer:innen, vier Lautsprecher und Objekte
Performance: Nicolette Edel, Renáta Polonkai
The piece explores a relationship of coexistence between bodies and plastic. Rather than approaching plastic as something to be rejected or corrected, the work stays with it—touching, holding, consuming, and inhabiting it. Plastic becomes a partner in proximity, a material through which intimacy is negotiated. Across a series of situations, distance is gradually redefined. What begins as separation and observation shifts toward contact, repetition, and excess. Gestures slow down, then accumulate. Voices move between speech, breath, humming, and strained sound. Electronic sound amplifies internal rhythms such as breathing and heartbeat, surrounding the audience with a shared sonic space.
