.....murderous phantasmagoria, a work in progress

“What are the human re-actions to physiological, psychological, ecological, scientific and criminal themes? Here, impression becomes expression.”

31shots is comprised of the following elements, which will be transformed into an artwork reflecting murderous phantasmagoria:

“Enclose_Enter_Invade_Melt_Be Distorted_Curve_Be Broken_Vibrate_Move_Pass_ Reflect_Hide_Wrap_Overlap_Deviate_Take Off_Lose_GoOut_Be Transparent_ Partition_BeSplit_Fall into Pieces_Burst_Expand_Proliferate_ Continue_ Join Together_Tie Up_Become Entangled_Become Cubic_Imply”


Avoiding methods of theatrical “interpretation”, performers explore each other's curiosity about the function of criminality. Focusing specifically on murder and its accompanying phantasmagoria they apply their findings in a performance context dealing with “dead & alive”.

Each performer has 3 functions; to represent the body as an object, to give the performing body an aim, and to reveal its private universe. We will begin by intervening with each other in a kind of “game”, presenting the “purely arbitrary act” that will confront the audience with an intimate performance.
