Ioannis Mandafounis’ new creation is a site-specific performance inspired by the extraordinary Bauhaus architecture of the Teatro San Materno in Ascona.
Due to its multipurpose use and the way it is situated in the landscape, the architectural structure of the theatre itself creates vastly different situations between intimacy and publicity.
The audience is taken on a ride through the location from the quiet indoors to the loud and overexposed outdoors. Divided into smaller groups, the spectators consecutively experience the sequence of scenes each from their own starting point.
In line with the heritage of the Teatro San Materno as a place of research and experimentation, the performance utilises Ioannis Mandafounis’ method of live-choreography which makes each show unique and unrepeatable.
