Blindfold One
In a performance space in Amsterdam. Two Performers. Microphone. Chair. Moving rug over table. Two lights.
Concept
A live, unrehearsed dialogue on the idea of Truth occured -- only the idea of a dialogue, across the sea, on the subject of Truth. Minimal instructions were at the table, asking the audience participant to put on the blindfold and to speak into the microphone. Sound was amplified so that the audience could hear.
The Performers
The audience participant: blindfolded at the Toubab performance space, DasArts, Amsterdam.
The other participant, AFS, was located in South Carolina, U.S. his voice transmitted, live.
The two could not see each other or the audience.
And Then...
....after a little while, one of the two performers expressed the idea that truth is something which is just "in the moment".
The other one said: "...if truth is just in the moment, then there is no difference between eating a schnitzel and falling in love?...Yes?... "
____________
and the dialogue continued.
performed as part of Block 26, DasArts, Amsterdam, Spring 2007.
