HAIR

CABULA6 puts on HAIR - a 21st century rendition of the 1960s breakout rock musical.  The City of Vienna has commissioned the award winning international performance group, CABULA6 in collaboration with Vienna Hair Salons to create a work of Art:  the first official 'Vienna Wig'.  In a four day around-the-clock performance, the hair from hundreds of people living in Vienna will be woven into a one-of-a-kind Vienna Wig. From the 6th - 9th July, premier hair stylists from around the city will offer free haircuts and create a wig - unlike anything ever seen before - right in front of the audiences' eyes made from the HAIR ON THEIR HEADS and transformed into a work of Art. Once made, the wig will begin to live its own life as it travels to major museums around the world.  The installation begins and ends with a performance. (WUK 2011)

[1] Originally, “Hair” is a title of a rock musical by James Rado and Gerome Ragni. A product of the hippie counter-culture and sexual revolution of the 1960s, several of its songs became anthems of the anti-Vietnam War peace movement. The musical’s profanity, caused much comment and controversy. The musical broke new ground in musical theatre by defining the genre of “rock musical” and inviting the audience onstage for a “Be-In” finale. [2] Opera is an art form in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text (called a libretto) and musical score. Opera incorporates many of the elements of spoken theatre, such as acting, scenery, and costumes and sometimes includes dance. The word opera means “work” in Italian (it is the plural of Latin opus meaning “work” or “labour”) suggesting that it combines the arts of solo and choral singing, declamation, acting and dancing in a staged spectacle. [3] According to Aristotle, act-uality, in contrast to potentiality, is the motion, change or activity that represents an exercise or fulfillment of a possibility, when a possibility becomes real in the fullest sense.
