"Interplanetary Experiences"

From February 17 till 20, 1971, Ludo Mich organized a Saturn themed Fluxus Festival in the chapel of De Zwarte Panter gallery in Antwerp, Belgium. On the fluorescent invitations shaped like a planet with rings, the Antwerp performer, musician, artist and underground filmmaker announced these four days as "Interplanetary Experiences". The happening included assemblies, performances, sculptures, improvised music, experimental films (including the premiere of Saturn) and a space theater play with grunting piglets unleashed upon the visitors.

This DVD, recorded on film and edited by Louis Goyvaerts, is a representation of the two hour performance done February 18, 1971.

Ludo Mich is a painter, sculptor, holographer, musician, performance artist and fluxus associate best known for the series of hysterical films he made in the sixties and seventies, especially :Lysistrata(1975) ,
an adaption of Aristophanes' satirical poetic comedy into a strictly personal ludic burlesque
. All actors perform naked. This was due not simply to the budget being too small to accommodate the appropriate costumes and regalia; Ludo Mich also intended to use his particularity to heighten the impact of Aristophanes' anarchistic ideas.
