ELIZA TREFAS & KATARZYNA PALUCH
Study on Fool’s Paradise
© Mário Abreu
Study on Fool’s Paradise is a platform for deeply embodied discomfort, confusion, awkwardness and errors in order to set us free. The performance can be seen as a practical study, where performers are subject to constant quick shifts of attention, where significance and meaning can just as easily be lost as won – a world ruled by instability. The performers are breaking with standard ways of dealing with problems, emotions are expressed through an “overdramatic” body, a comfortable exaggeration, “non-senses”, doing more than needed or less than required. What each body feels and lives through is an indirect reaction to our current times of hypernormality. Activities are approached in an inappropriate, sometimes awkward way, they bend towards an edge where they oscillate between being lifeless and colourful, bored and intrigued, gentle and rugged, hypo and hyper. The stage becomes a potential playground for slightly illogical feelings.
