»meine arbeit ist eine feier des lebens und des todes, eine erinnerung daran, dass wir alle teil des ewigen zyklus des seins sind.«
Hermann Nitsch

»my work is a celebration of life and death, a reminder of the fact that we are all part of the eternal cycle of being.«
Hermann Nitsch

During the 6 days the participants of the game can go on short or longer walks in the surroundings of the castle and prinzendorf. this may occur in particular in the morning, at noon or in the evening, when the action is not too dense. the o.m. theatre (prinzendorf castle) is the nucleus of the creative event, around which everything else takes place. again and again, one returns to the basic play sequence.
the castle should be akin to a site where the grail is worshipped.
