Martin
Rev is a musician who, together with Alan Vega, formed the legendary New York
based punk rock duo Suicide. Stefan Roloff is a filmmaker and artist known for
his pioneering digital works. Crossing boundaries between visual art and music,
his groundbreaking video 'The Face' was a prototype for Peter Gabriel's
'Sledgehammer'. It also started the Rev / Roloff collaboration in
1985, with Suicide's 'Dominic Christ' song.
Rev / Roloff are now, for the first time, presented as a live performance. On
stage, a circular screen is suspended in mid air. Martin Rev plays in front
of it while Stefan Roloff mixes projections from a variety of his video creations.
Because of their improvised parts, no two shows are alike.
Images
and music are combined into one direct and raw new language that ignores the
individual disciplines safe margins and doesn't need any translation.
Like a hypnotic ritual, it pulls the audiences into a space beyond common boundaries
and all that first meets the eye.
