DADAyama
Concert performance for 4 player
Inspired by Mehring's Dadayama, Georg Klein and Tetsuo Furudate have created a space and sound situation, that reflects Dadaisms in Germany and in Japan from today's perspective. Klein and Furudate interpret "Da - da" ("There - there") as the opposition of two places. "Yama" means mountain in Japanese. "Ma" signifies in between. Consequently, the spatial equivalent of the Dadayama word - as Klein and Furudate read it - is a flat, hill-like platform in the centre of the concert space. It descends symmetrically on two sides and thus separates the audience in two factions, sitting back to back.

The concert performance consists of 6 parts, each devided in to different parts played by Georg Klein and Tetsuo Furudate in alternating order:
- A IN BETWEEN
- B ON THE WAY
- C ON THE TOP
- D IN FRONT
- E SIDE BY SIDE
- F DADA TOTAL
Klein's parts are played by the maulwerker in different space constellations (amoung the public, left/right side of the public, above and in front of the public). Furudate uses a huge video screen for text and pictures, and in the last part (DADA TOTAL) as a background for a minimalistic dance performance.
