Research Theater

Research on different theatrical techniques and methods of behaviour and action

Trainer: Fanis Katehos

Aim:
Through the specific circle of sessions we will accomplish from scratch a research on different theatrical techniques and methods in order to create a new code of theatrical behaviour and action. With reference to Stanislavski, Grotowski, Eugenio Barba, Peter Brook, Suzuki, as well as to acrobatics and street theatre techniques, we will be introduced to a new way of creation.
The group will be trained in body plasticity, dynamic acrobatics, stilts art, speech physicality, fantasy horizon broadening and new theatrical exercise construction created by itself.

[2009]: “The City”

In one house-the same every time-that moves from city to city, two characters try desperately to gain memory. Him through her, her though the city.

Every time the clock strikes 8.30pm, a dinner table served with lobster mayonnaise, asparagus and champagne, would be a good sign.

But when the guest to this dinner shows up… Who will feel full and who would be the most convincing dead?

A triple one man show-three lonely “ghosts” in a battle of eating each other, with the font of a city. Like a reverse Russian roulette, each one of them tries to find the filled chamber for the other one.

Directed, set and light design by Fabrica.

Cast: Thanasis Kouvousis, Georgia Marinakou and Stefanos Lolos
