DoublethinkDoublethink
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.
