Outside, the city passed by; inside, it was cosy to sit, listening to the soundtrack of the movie playing like a radio piece; music and dialogue drove the story along. Outside, the Viennese performance artist Oliver Hangl and numerous actors began to carry out an intervention. Is the ambulance’s siren part of the production? A man and a woman embraced each other at a tram station across the street. Someone opened a window and shouted something — the whole world as cinema.
The tram as a movie theatre, the city as a moving image? Leave the protective dark and get onto the tram, move and let your eyes wander. Sound! Olliwood Productions proudly presents a CINEMA IN YOUR HEAD production in which the audience, glance by glance, cut the film; inner images merged with real ones, and reality suddenly turned into a fiction, or vice versa? The cinema audience as an interface between inside and outside, between image and sound in an urban, nearly uncontrollable setting. Staged fiction versus staged reality?
