Scheibe & GüntzelThrowback Saturday
In 2014 we were invited to participate in the Performance Festival "PPP* - *Past Present Perform, Westfalen". We presented a performance inspired by the Westphalian tradition of killing a rooster after the last load of rye had been brought in, in order to appease the “spirit of the grain.” In some regions, the rooster was buried alive and then beheaded. We of course skipped the last part but I dug a hole for 2 hours and Philip then sat in it while I covered him in soil up to his shoulders. We were performing next to a busy road and had many passing spectators.
