Usually a performance requires an audience, as it lives from the immediate interaction between public and performer. Limbo wants to explore this interaction by blurring the relationship between the two. Not knowing when the performer is being watched by an audience, puts him in Limbo.
Limbo is the first of a series of performances. Check out Īnferī and Caelum

One of the fascinating aspects of performance art is, to me at least, its apparent lack of boundaries. A performance can easily contain another form of art, e.g., music or painting, and still be considered a performance. This, however, makes it very hard to define the limits of what is and isn’t to be considered a performance. Some of the key elements are certainly the dependence on situation and place and their evanescence. Often, it is crucial for a piece to be experienced in the here and now. But what happens if there is no audience to witness it? Can you do a performance without someone else watching it? And how does the interaction between performer and public shape the performance itself? I want to explore that interaction by trying to find a state in between—is there something beyond the black and white of an audience being present or not? I found two interesting answers to that question:
