AS TIME GOES BY / NON TI PASSA PIÚ / VÁNSZOROG AZ IDÖ (Magyar nyelven az odal also felen.)
What’s the time? I mean your own time this pulsing sensation of past and present, of change, of rush and stillness, of growing and passing. What is it?
How do you pass your time?
And where does it go when it’s passed?
“As Time Goes By” is a travelling Street Performance by DeLighters, a Slow Motion Procession building on the contrast of rushing crowds of high streets, shopping streets of large cities.
The performers wear broken clocks (or are painted as broken clocks) while walking very slowly against the rushing crowd, against rushing life, against time.
Each step takes one breath.
We don’t carry phones or shopping bags. We don’t stare, push or talk. We don’t buy and we don’t sell. We don’t look at shop-windows. We don’t ask nor answer questions. We look inside while we walk ahead in our own time. Out of time.
This Performance was developed in Turin, Italy in December 2008 by DeLighters. The Performance didn’t happen there, the first show was in Edinburgh.
Following the Edinburgh performance there was another show in Bristol and in Budapest, and there will be many more to follow in several European cities in the near future. (Glasgow in June 2011 and the Sziget Festival (H) in August 2011).
The first show was EDINBURGH, UK : 31st of January 2009, 2.30-5pm, Princes Street.

VÁNSZOROG AZ IDŐ – Lassú Menet
Mennyi az idő?
A Te időd, ez pulzáló jelenléte múltnak, jövőnek, jelennek, változásnak, rohanásnak és megállasnak, növekedésnek és elmúlasnak. Mi az? És mennyi? És hogy halad? Rohan? Áll? Vánszorog?
Mennyi az időd?
És hogy telik?
És hova lesz az, ami eltelt?
Lelassulás…
Minden lépés egy lélegzetvétel.
Lökdösődés nélkül menni előre.
Sem telefonálni, sem táskákat vinni.
Sem venni, sem eladni,
Nem nézni sem kirakatokat, sem embereket, nem beszélni és nem kérdezni.
Csak lenni és menni, befelé nézni és menni előre, haladva az idővel, a saját idődben.
Az időn kívül…
A “Vánszorog az idő” egy utazó utcaszínházi előadás amely az időnk visszakövetelését tűzte ki célul. A DeLighters előadásának lassú menete a bevásárló utcák rohanó tömegeit ellenpontozza, és Sétáló Utcának használja a helyet, amit annak hívnak.
Az előadók törött, nem működő órák szimbólumát viselik, ahogy lassan haladnak a tömeggel szemben, a rohanó élettel szemben, az idővel szemben.
Az előadás 2008 Decemberében Torinóban, Olaszországban készült.
Az első Lassú Menet 2009. január 31-én Edinburgh (Egyesült Királyság) Princes Street-jén volt 10 előadóval, majd 2009. februárjában Bristolban megismétlődött.
A 2009. március 21-ei Budapesti (Váci Utca) előadást számos más európai nagyváros követi.

TALES FROM A TOY-BOX 
A toy-box is found in the park / shopping street. It hasn’t been opened for decades, and no-one knows how it got there. Finally two vintage dolls and a nutcracker make their way out of the box, and throughout their interactions their story unfolds. They all have many surprises and stories to tell to their “new friends” (interactions with members of the audience, while the rest of the spectators watch and move around them freely in the space).
The performers have many pockets containing small toys and puppets (each of them with a story linked to them), songs, dances, messages or little presents; and different ways of choosing between them, dice, nursery rhymes, or pick-and-choose so each member of the audience will have a unique experience. For example one will get to turn the key on the back of the ballerina doll who’ll start dancing. In another pocket lives a little puppet who always wanted to be an opera singer. In another pocket there is a map of a treasure hunt, with a real surprise as the treasure.
Each story or happening is about 5 minutes long. The length of the show is therefore flexible.
Performers: Rhiana Laws, Mark or Dan, Jusztina Hermann
In collaboration with Far Flung Dance.
