"Black Market International" is regarded as one of the most influencial formations within international performance art. Since 1985 eighteen artists from eleven nations as well as numerous guest artists collaborated under this label. The originally europe-oriented formation meanwhile became an international network with artists from different European countries as well as from Mexico and Singapore.
The concept of this collaboration is unique: There are no rehearsals, no choreography or dramaturgy. The associated artists meet within the performance - more is not planned. The performance is realized in present out of the encounter of the artists.
Jürgen Fritz brings pictures, sounds, videos and other material out of the rich pool of twenty years of collaboration. Whether this evening becomes a contemplating look backwards or a critical confrontation with the "old boys style" depends on the audience and on the material Jürgen Fritz brings from his latest trip to Japan.
