performance
INTERAKCJE International Festival, Poland
Taking a perverse approach to "showing" and "watching" a performance, I wanted to offer the festival audience an activity that would engage other senses, primarily the sense of hearing, and thus stimulate the individual imagination of the participants to create personal images, emerging from the darkness of inner experience.
Among the audience, in different parts of the room, my helpers were deployed, to whom I assigned tasks (breathing heavily, breaking sticks, playing a screeching sound, dropping metal vessels from a height, screaming, puncturing a balloon), performed in a pre-determined sequence, one after another. In this way, the unsuspecting audience was surrounded by impressions, further enhanced by the darkness in the room.
