The Invisible Reality Show
You bought a ticket for a performance. You got an address, and a time for appointment… It is now. You enter an antique shop, the shopkeeper tells you to find a book, in the book is a letter addressed personally to you. You step out of the shop and start your journey… you meet things and things will meet you. And there you are, in the midst of the performance. Welcome to The Invisible Reality Show.
The Invisible Reality Show is a series of performative travels: site specific performances that lead the audience one by one or in small groups, through a prepared path which triggers the senses and the intellect. In a surprising and humorous way we offer the public an alternating role of watcher, participant and test person. An interactive performance, a social experiment, serious research, a virtual excursion?
The Invisible Reality Show makes the performance emerge in the mind of the audience and opens up for multiple, personal and exclusive experiences. We use a mixture of visual art, types of performing, sensory experience, kinesthetic experience, audiotapes and interactive principles to do so. With subtle methods, the sensitivity of the audience is increased and simple impulses appear far more intense. The daily reality of the site is used as a “theatre setting” and allows the coincidences to interweave with intended actions.
Mind-sets and reality are juggled around and create confusion, revealing the absurdity of the “normal”, as only one possible convention. It leads to the open question of how reality is created, and what reality is?
An exclusive, deep and unforgettable journey … Step in…
The Invisible Reality Show is a concept, which is applied to different surroundings. Each work is an original and highly site specific. It is created in close dialogue with its surroundings, which brings about a variety of unique works. Each Invisible Reality Show may produce a visual product, which can be shown independently after the show in galleries or other spaces.
