a new work

A new Work...

'Reflex'

It starts here, but of course it doesn't start here...;
an idea;
An industrial space.
A performer is holding a mirror.
The spectator waits for the mirror to become to heavy to hold.
The performer has to drop the mirror when he/she's exhausted.
Different mirrors, different weights, different times.

I expect that;
The mirror will reflect the space where the performer is gazing at.
The mirror will make the spectator look at themselves.
the mirror will create a wall between the identity of the performer and the spectators.
While the performer will become tired, the mirror will start to move in the hands of the performer. The little moves will be enlarged because of the mirror.
The reflection of the space will create an even bigger movement.




Tools;

Different mirrors, composed upon the scales and human proportions (like the length of the arms)
An industrial or theatrical space where all concentration will be focused on the time of the performer
Sound?
outfit?

Research;

Reflex
Mirror history and meaning
Human proportions
Perception of time
Perception of movement
Space awareness/ perception
