TERRITORY

TERRITORY
Territory is an interdisciplinary performance of dance, music and video that proposes a journey through the different conceptions of 'territory' – private, interpersonal, social, political, acoustic and ethological. Questions of identity are negotiated through the relationship of the performers to their performance space, the territory they inhabit. The territory of the performance is framed further by technology – surveillance cameras, monitors and sound equipment re-focus how the audience captures what ‘takes place’ onstage. Four infrared cameras are situated on different sides and levels of the stage. The cameras register constantly what is happening and their footage is shown on four monitors. The public is given the option to have a multiplied view of the performance - they have to negotiate between five angles of the same event, the live act onstage and what is shown on the monitors.

* Winner of BNG New Theatre Director Award 2006 *

" This show calls upon the audience to absorb, associate and interpert. The director has embued this show , which addresses a very broad theme, with a number of surprising twistsby combining a range of theatrical elemtns: music, movement and dance, video images and play. An intelligent show that provokes and lingers on well after the footlights have dimmed. " (The Jury)
