OE Coproduction

Resist/Evolve looks at the limits of our bodies and minds through our primal instinct to survive, to resist in conditions of adversity. Using special breathing techniques, Dan Kinzelman creates uninterrupted soundscapes based on frequencies in a single saxophone note. During the first ten minutes of the performance the artist approaches his physical limit, which he subsequently ties to keep, pushing the limit of both physical and mental resistance and trying to balance the rules he has prepared, his ability to concentrate and the physical abilities of his body as he interacts with the tool. The sound is only disrupted when this balance can no longer be kept.
