ABSTRACT
Catalogue irraisoné A performer strides through the performance space in a regular and deliberate fashion, emphatically pronouncing syllables from time to time whose meaning and justification remains obscure: ‘a – fa – a – fa – fa … fanno’. At this point the performer suddenly pauses, and, with evident satisfaction, utters: ‘Acheronte’. After a little while the walk resumes, but the previously regular gait is now more like that of John Cleese in Monty Python’s ‘Ministry of Silly Walks’ sketch. The character of the vocal component undergoes change as well, but without making any more sense: ‘a – ge – a – sch – a – de … nachtwacht’.
