In/scissions 2008 -- 15th-27th September

In/scissions, aurally, incision, a cut in the skin or the flesh, moment of acute perception that draws focus to internal workings, where/when there is no referent, no ‘other’ time or place but here. In-scission, the non-word read graphically, in-to separation, division, or splitting, as in fission, what makes each one one, always singular and particular, critically this and not another.

Based on the Greek myth of Orpheus & Eurydice, this promenade performance follows Orpheus’s descent into the underworld in search of his beloved Eurydice and leads us on an exploration of what Wahrnehmung becomes when death parts lovers and perception transcends reality. This site-specific interdisciplinary piece merges the space between performers and perceivers and playfully mixes the languages of dance, sound and light to recreate the stages of Orpheus’s imaginary journey.




Short film Orpheus (approx. 20min): Studio 1, Monday 22nd to Wednesday 24th September 2008 (as part of The Centre for Dangerology events). A cinematic exploration of the performance and the boundaries of fiction that will be screened as work in progress.
