AFÀNISI

text and direction: Alessandro Paschitto

Performer / Company: CTRL+ALT+CANC

It is a performance that reverses the relationship between spectator and show, between reality and the gaze that observes it. The spectator is no longer a passive user but an active creator of the work in front of him. He is actually asked: what do you want to see? And then he is invited to answer privately, to himself, but in a lightning-fast, not meditated way. Free association, the most classic of the rules of psychoanalysis: think of the first thing that comes to mind, whatever it is. Each spectator will answer inside himself to a sequence of questions, with which he will physically draw - with the help of the performers - his own show in the empty space. His sudden, apparently unmotivated choices will soon reveal themselves to be personal, they will concern him in an unexpected way. Each will see a different show from the one sitting next to him. Here is the reversal: theatre is no longer what you look at. But what you are looked at by.
