BIT Teatergarasjen

Arbeidene til Gisèle Vienne blander abstrakte og billedlige elementer med Dennis Coopers dystre fiksjon og den mørke musikken til KTL, beatående av Stephen O’Malley og Peter Rehberg som er assosiert med kultplateselskapet Editions Mego, hovedsetet for den eksperimentelle elektronika-scenen i Wien i en årrekke. Sist Vienne var i Bergen med This is How You Will Disappear, et samarbeid mellom BIT Teatergarasjen og Nationalteatret i Oslo, bygget hun en skog på scenen, røyklagt av en japansk tåkekunstner.

Spilles 21.-22. oktober kl 21:00 på Studio Bergen

The Pyre befinner seg i skjæringspunktet mellom språk og dans, og åpner som en inngang til Star Trek eller A Space Odyssey med et himmellegeme omkranset av asteroider og stjerneskudd i full fart mot publikum. Det ytre rom er bare en av mange konkretiseringer av det abstrakte, og er bokstavelig reflektert i karakterenes kamp for å unnslippe virkeligheten.

LED-lysshow og musikk live på scenen gir dybde og former rommet karakterene virker i. Forestillingen er en musikk- og lyskomposisjon hvor karakterenes tilstedeværelse skifter mellom kroppslighet og mangel på kropp. Tid og rom flyr, vrenges og forsvinner foran våre øyne. Bevegelser som presenterer kroppstransformasjoner og spenningen mellom dem forstyrrer det som avbildes, også karakterens virkelighet, og gir det hele et mytisk skjær.
