Mush Room is a further part of the processual series The Perfect Garden, from which several modular performances emerge. In the temporary secondhand paradises by visual artist Michel Blazy, Liquid Loft deal with possible ›concepts of living and being perfect‹ critically, but also with a grain of salt.
Living the Good Life – by a variety of means humans try to control their nature and are thereby confronted with the phenomenon of time and the speed by which it passes by. If anything existed outside the framework of time, outside perishableness, then, the quality of an event would increase due to its temporal recurrence. In their “Perfect Garden” the performers encounter the euphemisms, the pretty talk and the fantasies that form the individual in their search for unrestricted opportunities to design their life. Nobody really cares that things only seem to be the way they ideally should be, because everybody knows that the ideal can, anyways, not be reached. In this performance growing and outgrowing one’s self are set as the basic approach to movement, while the body is being transformed into a cybernetic landscape by the repetition of movement cycles.
