Appearance--A Suspense In Being Pure War/the Madness Of the DayAppearance--A Suspense In Being
Synopsis:
Through an unfolding sequence of solo exhibits and ensemble scenes, four actresses approach acting in the way that jazz musicians approach music. the mostly non-verbal forms are dynamic and rhythmical, composed of micro-narrative fragments drawn from the actors' immediate experience. It's about velocity and perception and the enigma of human experience in a techno-spectacular culture, a world in which real-time human presence struggles to appear, to break through the limits of representation

Top of PagePure War/the Madness Of the Day
Synopsis:
an enigmatic examination of the coupling of metabolic speed and technological speed, and its inevitable consequences on consciousness, human appearance and the perception of one's "place" in the world. Technology has become a contemporary prosthesis on consciousness and the question "Who am I?" becomes increasingly eclipsed by the question "How do I appear?" Texts are drawn from urban theorist Paul Virilio and French author Maurice Blanchot. Set in a "box full of speeds" in the context of a public hearing, the actors place themselves under public scrutiny to become Blanchot's protagonist "the Disappeared One," in a para-theatrical experience about the terms of appearance between actor, character and audience, and the societal value of theatre as a technology of human interaction. Together they conspire to create a series of exhibits, confessions and briefings as a simulation of the relationship between technology and the human body.
