Colours May Fade is the story of two people who are placed in a room tipped at an angle of 90° angle from which there is no exit, giving the audience a new perspective on the room and its inhabitants. The audience watches the show as if through a camera mounted on the ceiling. Cut off from the outside world, time has moved them to create their own language.Time and space have lost all meaning, our perception is deluded and Kafka is never far away.  

Colours May Fade  was created and performed by Joanna Dudley, with the dancer, singer and choreographer Juan Kruz Diaz de Garaio Esnaola, and co-created and designed by Rufus Didwiszus. It was produced and premiered at the Schaubuehne, Berlin.

"The decisive, unsettling element is the incredible stage design by Rufus Didwiszus. The spectator takes the bird’s eye view from above. The man and the woman “are sitting“ at the table, however, technically speaking, they’re in a hanging position. They are in constant danger of falling. Their virtuosic squawking and twittering is intertwined in a canon of the hightest quality musically. The balance of the of the two actors are permanently and wonderfully at stake." Die Welt
