Rui Horta (Portugal)
Scope
British Premiere
Tramway Tues 26 & Wed 27 February 1930
After the enormous success of Set UP (new territories 2006) this new work will deepen Rui Horta’s research on communication and the inevitable borders that we establish between us – a manoeuvring space for the perception of the smallest details and the subtle differences.
The audience will immerse themselves in a universe of doubts and strangeness, bringing them into a space shared with the performers, where in each moment perception is altered. Accepting this unique place of an audience in dialogue with the work.
It is a piece about the different views we all have of the same reality. The audience progressively reinvents its point of view. Two performers discover each other whilst the audience shares in this adventure.
The huge distance between the “how” and the “who” is the journey of this piece, as is the search of the object – the most subjective of them all, the object of desire. The performing space obliges us to adjust our perception that constantly swings between reason and emotion, surprise and deceit.
The dramaturgic line of the work follows this ambiguous path, a virtual construction inhabited by our own ghosts, functioning as a new-found truth, something that shifts from “what we see: into “what we want to see”, and is there a more misleading territory than Love?
Each person will see whatever they want, or even, each person will understand in their own way whatever they want to see.
