Krig, hastighet! Parole in Libertá
(War, Speed! Parole in Liberta)

The performance are put together from the two standalone pieces Indy500:seklernas udde (Indy500:Cape of the Century) and The Art of War Noise.

Indy500:Cape of the Century.
Text: Jörgen Dahlqvist. Music: Kent Olofsson.
The car race Indy 500, which takes place at på Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the USA since 1911, has been described as the world’s greatest sport event. Taking Marinetti’s fourth paragraph as point of departure, Indy500:Cape of the Century concludes that we are already living in the future, with speed and consumption as linked matter in what has become a religion in which the global brands are the proponents of this global church.

The Art of War Noise.
Text: Annika Nyman: Music: Martin Svensson
A linguistic examination of war following Marinetti. It is a regression towards the futurist tribute to war and the machinery of war. It is a movement back to the trench, to the sound and rhythm of war, to its points of extreme of regularity and disintegration.
