Text by István Zelenka

"has been accustomed" should be performed as the "second voice" of/in a duet-constellation, executed simultaneously but not synchronized with the "first voice", consisting of 1 or some audible or/and visible actions/activities, compositions, happenings, with a duration of about 1 hour; this duet-constellation is somehow inspired by the function of the surtitle or supertitle system, the written and simultaneously projected translation of sung and spoken texts/lyrics in theater and opera; my duet project has been accustomed to works not as a "translation" or more precisely as a "commentary" to the simultaneous audible and/or visible actions/activities, compositions, happenings, but acts as their partner in a mutually autonomous and symbiotic relationship; this dialogue should be performed in a rather moderate space/room promoting an intimate relationship among those present: participating performers and participating listeners/spectators forming a close community without no hierarchical distinction.
