The Waterclash semi-final is a shock. Twenty minutes of aesthetic violence, like a bullfight. The fighters’ blows are real, weapons break, the armour is damaged, and helmets smash.
The washing machines are crushed methodically, obsessively under the weight of the scrap yard philharmonic. Then, in an almost hysterical way, the musicians, who are carried away by their music, trample and twist the material. The rock band, JOHNNY BC, rip the place up with their electric guitars Waterclash does not need "actors," it needs only individuals charged with inner violence and an awareness of it.
