At first it was only a rift.
At first nobody saw it.
It is supposed that rifts are caused where one
does not get deeply enough. Where a sort of void
is created like a vacuum bubble.
There is neither a scientifically reasonable
nor a theological explanation for that.
At first, The Rift sucks everything up through an only small
opening, and another place is created.
It is the non-place, absolute silence, without
hearing, without language.
Muddy. Principally, it is the Dark Grey Green.
There is everything else.
Fear. Silence. Horror. The race. The lake.
Together with the works finished so far, 8CHT (aus: Der Riss), 6ECHS (aus: CRUISER/Das Opfer), ER.eine She (aus: 5ÜNF/ Haare-Opfer) and 2WEI (aus: SCHANDE/ Das Opfer), 7IEBEN forms a cycle counted backwards from 8, with varying instruments, but always with music and text written by Oehring himself, combined with live electronics, deaf actors, dancer(s), instrumental soloists, singers and stage actors.
