Split second

In "Split Second" by Cirka Teater Gilles Berger has constructed an amazing revolving stage for his character, the control fixated Hector. Hector lives in a small world in which the experience of time is eventually taking all space. In an absurd attempt at perfecting and controlling all actions in relation to a schedule of ideal time, he falls into a confrontation with time.

Without a word, but with physical theatre, puppetry, music and video projection we follow Hector on his chaotic journey through a fraction of a second. Still you can hear a physical language from the acrobatic main character assisted by video (shown on a huge clock dial upon which Hector wanders), music and figures.
