These are two columns of meanings that can be applied respectively to cinema and theatre and more specifically to video and live performance.
Cinema – Theatre
Video – Live Performance
Memory – Reality
Past – Present
Absence – Presence
Immaterial – Material
Unconscious – Conscious
My research is based on the combination of live performance with projected images and videos in order to represent memory. In cinema, with the help of flashback the characters are transported into the past very successfully.
How can we achieve this in a live performance with the contribution of video?
How can the cinematic language be integrated in the performance?
How do we combine the live body with the projected image in order to create an illusion to the audience?
What belongs to the past (memory) and what belongs to now (reality)?
How can the present and the past body coexist within live space?
The aim is to create an illusion and a dreamy atmosphere for the audience.
Lets try to put these in one question… How can we represent memory in a performance through video projections and in combination with the live body and the recorded body in order to create an illusion to the audience?
