Description

Public Movement is a research and action body. They describe their work 'Positions' as 'a new form of staged public demonstration'. Two so-called 'Activation Agents' invite the audience to make a choice in a short time between two opposing positions and thus choose a side. The two groups are briefly separated from each other and placed opposite each other in space, before being confronted again with two new positions.
