Buren shows different scenes of the work PARADE/PROMENADE which consists of different episodes and will be developed further in 2016. It is inspired by Mussorgski’s dance ‘Pictures of an Exhibition’ from 1874 in which different paintings are imagined. The walk takes place from canvas to canvas and is inherent part of the performance. In PARADE/PROMENADE every movement, walk, move,... is part of the whole. The tableaux made by buren, show a future image thought from another time and space. A science fiction about the feasilbility of the human, songs about an invisible place, an unkwown tribe and procrastinating. The setting is an absolute universe, out of the imagination.
