The present time is characterised by a growing mixture of work and leisure and often our actual leisure is fully and accurately planned with all sorts of activities. What do we do with our free time? What is the difference between being idle and being lazy? Starting with a short text excerpt from Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery about time perception, the performance uses daily sounds like bubbling water, beans, whistles, words and voices to reflect about idleness.

Rahel Kraft: voice, text, glass harp, beans, bubble bath, samples and electronics

This performance was created upon an invitation by the cultural office and cultural foundation of canton Thurgau
