UR URLAND

“Why do we actually make art?”

 In UR Performance-collective URLAND returns to the Ursprung, the origin, the very beginning. What are our motives for creating? What are our motives for moving? What is the secret of art? URLAND makes an attempt at unraveling the primal oneness, the Ur-Eine. What lies beneath the surface of man? What makes us man?

URLAND collides with itself, with the world, with expectations and interpretations, with Nietzsche, with tradition, with the Empty Space, and finally with art. URLAND sees theater as the archetype and at the same time the art form of the future.    

THERE WE GO AGAIN PREACHING ART TO THE CHOIR! THE MARCH OF CIVILISATION! Aaaaaa! WE ARE THE BARBARIANS, WE ARE THE CYNICAL EUROPE, ENLIGHTENMENT, COUNTER-ENLIGHTENMENT BLABLAbla! 

We want UR, we want radicalness, we want stories, we want a ritual. Back to zero. Harakiri! 

URLAND is a performance-collective. URLAND works autonomously. URLAND knows no hierarchy, there is no director. URLAND designs the set. URLAND creates the sound. URLAND writes the text. URLAND is on stage. URLAND experiments. URLAND refers, quotes and samples. URLAND sees technology as a means, not an end. URLAND believes in live art in digital times.
