An idea for the musical performance Sports Group was born while playing basketball at the gym. Asynchronous sounds of basketballs hitting the floor, shout outs of the team players \u2013 upon closer listening all of these sounds started resembling a large unmanaged concert, and that is how the five-year-long journey into the research of \u201cmusic through sports\u201d and \u201csports through music\u201d began.<\/span>\n\n <\/span>\n\nThe piece that evolved from fragments of experiences found in gyms, sports grounds, blogs, vlogs and advertising addresses the experiences of a modern human being within the world that relies on \u201claws\u201d of self-exploration, self-creation and continuous self-perfection. On the one hand, such extensive attention to individuality, bodily and inner beauty is a sign of the development and high-level culture of the society. On the other hand, when self-realisation is understood as acting, rather than being \u2013 perhaps it becomes yet another source of stress and existential anxiety?<\/span>\n\n <\/span>\n\nThe game of the Sports Group fuses diverse rules and imagery of the sports world. Sultry space saturated with trained bodies, their pulsing veins and temples houses an ensemble of six DIY instruments. Variety of gym equipment for diverse muscle groups sound as unique musical instruments.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
