Quote from the review by Z.Gündüz
// ‘It’s nothing really’ was a performance created from the point of view of a ‘technician’ that introduced new perspectives of looking at technology, technical equipment as well as the notion of performer. This piece not only succeeded in transforming technical equipment into performers in a clever and humorous way, but also blurred the boundaries between ‘performer’ and ‘technician’. In sum, ‘It’s nothing really’ raised the question: ‘for whom the spotlight shines?’...//
Quote from the first reaction by Pieter T’Jonck
// ...The ‘nothingness’ of this piece, it seems to me, is a means for Jansen to clear the field of theatre of all unnecessary notions and habits, so as to be able to start doing his own thing. Which we are waiting for now of course.//
Taavet Jansen (1978) is a choreographer, programmer and interdisciplinary artist who works simultaneously in theatre and on the fields of electronical art and audiovisual scenes.
