Drinking water. Difficulty class. (2023) is the first collaboration between (yet undefined) ‘dzz z99’ and performer Donatas Tretjakovas.
In a sonic setting designed with close attention to the nuances between simulation and reality, the solo performance piece unfolds through heavy-weight temporality. The audience is invited to experience an intimate relationship between a dice (Demo DIE, beta 2, 2023), a glass of water, and a human being (Donatas Tretjakovas). Almost like a sand-clock, the water-clock situation helps reveal unspoken dependencies through the use of the role-play game mechanic ‘difficulty class’.
‘Demo DIE’ is an archive of around three thousand images published in the format of a book that behaves like a dice. It has been supported by Stimuleringsfonds Experiment scheme, Creative Industries NL, in 2022, and 2023. More information is at lit.link/demodie.
