Abstract

The first Noordung show, One Versus One, opened on 20 April 1995 with the intention that a restaging will take place every 10 years, the next show being on 20 April 2015 and the final one taking place on 20 April 2045. The place of those actors who die in the intervening period will be taken by a mechanical symbol, their spoken text represented by sounds (melody for women, rhythm for men). In 2045 these symbols will be shot into zero gravity space in a capsule. Through this action it is intended to finally abolish mimetic theatre and establish the rule of non-corporeal art.

On 15 December 1999 Dragan Živadinov created Noordung Biomechanics, the first performance organised in zero gravity space, co-ordinated by Projekt Atol Institute, with the aim of researching the revolutionary changes taking place in the human body in a situation of a weightless theatre. The performance, which dealt with the problems of the time/space paradigm and the subject as an actor and performer in the electronic era, took place in the Russian cosmonaut training aircraft in the skies above Moscow. In 2005 a further Noordung production entitled Supremat was performed at Helix as a part of an NSK event held in Dublin to celebrate European enlargement.
