.....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.
