Notes: | by Neil Bennun, Ant Hampton, Silvia Mercuriali | |||||
Synopsis: | Rotozaza produces a wholly unique theatrical experience by selecting performers-different every night and often non-professional-who simply agree to follow instructions, live and unrehearsed. For them, challenging audiences to distinguish professional actors from non-actors and rehearsed action from spontaneous reaction celebrates theater by identifying 'what can only be done live.' In Doublethink, two completely unrehearsed 'guest' performers follow instructions from a recorded voice with a divider between them. As a result, the performers can't see each other, yet the audience sees both sides. Warped and mischievous, Doublethink is a story-cum-experiment about freedom, the farce of self-knowledge and our preference, at times, to be told what to do. In 5 in the Morning, three willing 'guests' similarly take instructions from the loudspeakers of Aquaworld, an enormous swimming pool complex. Clothed in swimsuits and clutching towels, the participants do what they're told. At first hilarious and fun, their predicament transforms slowly into a strange and powerful reality. | |||||

Notes: | written and devised by Ant Hampton and Silvia Mercuriali | |||||
Synopsis: | Etiquette is a do-it-yourself performance for two people in a cafe or public space. Instructions via headphones tell participants what to say and do. With simple conversation, actions and miniature props, a magical event unfolds. A young woman and a philosopher lead you into situations that explore the private worlds shared between two people. The piece cleverly shifts the dynamics between you, your partner and the voices of your mysterious protagonists; exposing human communication as a kind of theatre in which 'audience' and 'actor' roles are subtly assumed and exchanged. You are totally immersed in the experience, aware yet unaware that you are the performance. Thought-provoking and emotionally immediate, Etiquette takes audience participation to an entirely new level. | |||||

Notes: | written by Ant Hampton, with Joji Koyama and Isambard Khroustaliov | |||||
Synopsis: | This is part of the COIL Festival. Five participants enter a brightly lit room, there are five chairs positioned around a TV. A session begins, and as each audience member follows different instructions via headphones, they begin to understand "who they are." Proceedings are led by an on-screen, animated character-whose twin roles of marketing and spiritual Guru are confused by his reliance on untested and accident-prone technologies. The overproduced, digital sheen of our focus-group world cracks open into a colourful volcano of boiling absurdity. A hilarious chaos develops, exposing today's consumer-mad inability to distinguish between what we want, and what we need. | |||||

Notes: | by Ant Hampton and Tim Etchells. The piece is commissioned and produced by and for Ciudades Paralelas (Parallel Cities), a festival of portable AND site-specific work curated by Stefan Kaegi and Lola Arias running until Sep 24 in Berlin before moving to Buenos Aires in November and to Zurich in May 2011 | |||||
Synopsis: | The Quiet Volume is a whispered, self-generated and 'automatic' performance (Autoteatro) for two at a time, exploiting the particular tension common to any library worldwide; a combination of silence and concentration within which different peoples' experiences of reading unfold. Two audience members / participants sit side-by-side. Taking cues from words both written and whispered they find themselves burrowing an unlikely path through a pile of books. The piece exposes the strange magic at the heart of the reading experience, allowing aspects of it we think of as deeply internal to lean out into the surrounding space, and to leak from one reader's sphere into another's. | |||||
