MANIFESTO OF THE LIVE MOMENT
This manifesto may transform because life itself is changing and flowing
The border between
THEATRE AND PERFORMATIVE ARTS
is now blurred
which is great, because they complement each other.
«but both should:
NOT BE BORING
Be very CONCRETE and PARTICULAR
in its concept, intention and structure
Have AESTHETICS and preferably HUMOR
«BE about TODAY's REALITY
especially to be kept in mind by making a piece based on more than 70 years old text
and dressing the actors in historical costumes
PROVIDE AN EXPERIENCE
otherwise why should someone get his ass off the couch to go to the theatre
instead of watching Netflix at home?
Involve GAME elements
Be HERE AND NOW
and therefore
THE ARTIST:
Has to be PRESENT
«e in a DIRECT CONNECTION to the audience
even if they're for some reason behind the „4th wall"
Always have a DISTANCE to their role or performance
«BE A PERSONALITY, not a function.
An artist represents their personal experience, perspective and perception of the world, and, if neccessary, should not be afraid of getting naked,
either mentally nor physically


P.S. FUCK THE ONLINE formats
Get the REAL LIVE WORLD back
