Performative dialogue “On Time” between Bojana Kunst & Ivana Müller; presented in the context of a residency at Les Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers, Paris, France, november 2011 and as a part of Performance Studies International (PSI) Conference, Athens, Greece, november 2011

While standing live and alone on stage Ivana Müller reflects on the act of performing, on being public and being “live”, using her own body and her presence as a canvas onto which spectators project their expectations..

In While We Were Holding It Together, a tribute to the power of the imagination, Ivana Müller subjects notions of body and mind, and the relationship between the two, to a closer inspection. This results in a poetic, humoristic and philosophical production that draws the audience into Müller’s clear logic. While We Were Holding It Together creates images in becoming, always changing, depending on who is looking. Is it a rock band on tour? A picnic in the forest? A hotel room in Bangkok? We look, imagine and re-invent while searching for what is hidden and for what we want to see.
