Transkamer was the title of the very first production by the artist collective FERDNND, founded in February in 2014. The show's concept was conceived by Louis Van der Waal, Mauro Pawlowski, Sigrid Damen, Anja Perisic, Céline Felga and AMVK.
Originally, Transkamer grew out of their shared fascination with all-round artist Roland Topor. His novel Le Locataire chimerique (The Tenant), 1964, was the starting point. The main character, a timid young man, moves into the flat of a woman who has just jumped out the window. The man is driven to despair by the harassment of his new neighbours.
The play also found inspiration in the images of Chilean filmmaker and comic book author Alejandro Jodorowsky with his chaotic universe of Christ figures, alchemists and circus artists.
As a backdrop to the performance, AMVK designed this ever-playing slide cycle.
