KRUK
KRUK is a group (founded in june 2012) that plays, acts & sometimes talks or sings.
Kruk uses improvisation to get what it wants. But sometimes there are ideas in advance or even a score. Nothing is sacred. But all that happens is holy in a Ginsbergian sort of way.
Kruk uses anything that is available to the performers at the time of the performance. Maybe you could call it 'Cagean Improv', not so much because it derives from John Cage's work (allthough it does a bit) but because it admires his freedom to come up with cool stuff.
The founder of the group is Lukas Simonis who solemnly declares that anybody who plays in the group will be a KRUK member for the rest of his/hers/it's life. Other core members are Nina Hitz and Sato Endo.

KRUK has a liberal attitude towards the quality of it's performers.
They can be;
- dead
- a thing
- an animal
- a plant
But there's also room for more obvious performers like;
- musicians, dancers, poets, ghosts, etc, 'artists'
- anybody else
