DISABLED THEATER (2012)
Tanzstück
Mit Jérôme Bel und dem Theater HORA
Management
There’s one thing I’ve continually looked for and which runs through all my pieces to varying degrees. Something to do with incapability. I’ve actually always asked people I work with to do something they don’t know how to do. And my intuition told me that the way Theater Hora’s actors had of being on stage, which is impacted hugely by their learning disabilities, could reveal it, could make it evident. In a way they perform failure in theatre, something that pushes back the limits of what I thought I’d marked out in my own work. I’ve thought a lot about theatre codes; I’ve questioned them, deconstructed them and subverted them. But these actors go even further than me! It’s this inability to perform the usual work expected of an actor that interests me most with them.
