NME SISTEMA Teatro Baltazar Dias, Funchal John dos Passos, Ponta do Sol Fórum Manchico Madeira Island July 2018 Performance with voice, flute, guitar and movement, mixed media, video projection and sound recording 17 min duration Performed by New Maker Ensemble: Ragnar Á. Ólafsson Nicole Trotman Rodrigo B. Camacho Sara Rodrigues A longitudinal process of auto questioning is proposed to all participating performers. The much debated problem of sustainability is placed in its negative form, asking each performer to question what they believe to be unsustainable on a global, national, local and private scales. From these varied interviews, and in an emergent format, a performance score was developed. Aiming to immerse the ever so diverse audiences in a similar quest for auto questioning and sensitisation, the topics approached are also segmented into various definitions of information delivery: from abstract, undefinable to understandable and obvious. The experiment arises in attempting to understand the ways in which performative art may function in order to, with most impact, convey messages to audiences of such distinct natures, under such threatening subjects. |
