Green Table

urban choreography

The title Green Table has been borrowed by this work from groundbreaking historical choreographer Kurt Jooss in 1932, when he choreographically put the timeless and impersonal trading of war and its profits on the great green table of diplomacy in the 20th century.
We, however, are interested in the small urban everyday, with its coffee tables at markets, on sidewalks, and in the cafes and coffee shops of today’s world.
