The rules of the game (2022)
Concept and performance: Eva Leemans
Light- and set design: Yi-Ju Chou in collaboration with Eva Leemans
Mentor: Felix Mathias Ott
A duet between a performer and their performative surroundings.
Once hiding then visualizing the dynamics between performer and set, with the aim to increase people's awareness of the complex web of structures and relations which our individual existence is tied into, and how it influences our behavior.
A performative outcome from research into system dynamics, individual responsibility and identity inside the net of systems that we are all embedded in.
Supported by the believe that awareness of systems working in on us is important in order to fine-tune, manage and understand our own behavior, but more importantly to understand the other person's actions, and decrease simplistic judgment or narrow-minded conclusions in favor of increased tolerance.
The rules of the game is a continuation of previously conducted research under the title Do You See Me (2021)
Do You See Me was presented as a video, as part of To be a Fly on the Wall, by Greta Schuster.
