Perhaps All The Dragons...
'Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage.' - Rainer Maria Rilke
One round table with thirty seated screens at one side of the table and thirty audience seats at the other side. Thirty one-on-one narratives. The spectator can choose five he would like to see.
A famous pianist realizes on stage that she studied the wrong concerto – a neurosurgeon swaps head and body of two monkeys, they stay alive – in Japan there are 700 000 people living as hikikomori, withdrawn in their sleeping rooms for at least a year, away from social life - Six degrees of separation, a theory that everyone is six or fewer steps away from any other person in the world. A large array of dispersed stories will be offered to the audience. Berlin will encounter the people behind the little or great stories in international magazines, newspapers, specialized internet sites, YouTube. The themes brought up in these stories will be eclectic: from a philosophic proposition, over a scientific detail, to an anecdote…
Thirty stories, transformed to thirty filmed monologues with a dramaturgy that gives them a certain coherence. The duration of each narrative will be exactly the same and multiple interactions will intervene at different moments. A one–on–one performance for 30 spectators, around one round table.
