Fora de Campo
2020
Synopsis
Let's face it. We're undone by each other. And if we're not, we're missing something.
Judith Butler
On stage there’s a film set where the recording of the pilot episode of a television series is awaited. It’s very hot! Action, Home and Body add to the sensationalist atmosphere, aiming to eagerly capture the spectator’s attention. A script that derives from A Doll’s House, by Henrik Ibsen – a narrative that melts, diluted between dream and collective illusion. The character is aware that he needs to cause empathy and be convincing in order to survive. The performer knows the standardized structure where he belongs redefines and oppresses him. The spectator will be fully aware of the several overlapping fields of action that manipulate him.
Fora de Campo retrieves techniques and methods used in most popular television series to reflect on the concepts of power, architecture and emancipation. Isn’t our narrative made of very familiar dramas after all?
