“METAMORPHOSIS MECHANICA”
SCHLEMMER X BODY
A theater performance that incorporates parts of human bodies, designed using Oskar Schlemmer's ideas. The performance features actors wearing costumes that exaggerate and abstract the human form, creating visually striking tableaus and patterns. The performance showcases the potential of theater to explore and challenge conventional ideas about the human form and its relationship to technology. The suggested title for the performance is "Metamorphosis Mechanica," which highlights the transformation and evolution of the human form in a mechanized context.
THE PERFORMANCE COULD BEGIN WITH A SOLO DANCER OR ACTOR MOVING ON STAGE WITH GRACEFUL, FLUID MOVEMENTS, SHOWCASING THE EXPRESSIVE POTENTIAL OF THE HUMAN FORM.
THE PERFORMANCE ENDS WITH THE ACTORS SHEDDING THEIR COSTUMES AND TO THEIR NATURAL FORMS, SYMBOLIZING THE RESILIENCE OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT IN THE FACE OF TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS.
IT COULD INVOLVE ACTORS WEARING COSTUMES THAT EXAGGERATE AND ABSTRACT THE HUMAN FORM, SUCH AS OVERSIZED HANDS, ELONGATED LIMBS, AND EXAGGERATED FACIAL FEATURES.
THE ACTORS COULD INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER, USING THEIR EXAGGERATED LIMBS AND FEATURES TO CREATE VISUALLY STRIKING TABLEAUS AND GEOMETRIC PATTERNS.
