Seven men are listening to your story. Playback performance

It is believed that a man is a breadwinner, warrior, conqueror, traveler. And that matters of the soul are somehow alien to his harsh heart and he bypasses them. - What if you find out that there are men who are ready to discard these stereotypes and open their hearts in order to hear another person? - What if you see behind a severe beard, meaty hands and a hoarse voice - a thin and vulnerable soul, ready to vibrate in unison with yours? So you got to the Playback performance. It is a form of improvisation theater, where the audience tells personal stories and the actors turn them into artwork on stage. We play your stories back to you For the first time in Odessa - 7 men from different cities of the country will come together to listen to your stories and play them on stage in improvisation. *How does this happen? We come to the hall of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Odessa, where there are comfortable chairs, the host of the evening, a musician, actors and other spectators. The presenter gets to know the audience and asks: "Who has a story?" After that, any of the viewers can raise their hand and tell a story from their life. Actors listen to her and play, without agreeing among themselves. Playback performance consists of such stories and their playback. * What is it for and what is the point? We noticed that the modern world is aimed at speaking, creating, overcoming, filling the entire space of life. But, if everyone will only speak, create, then who will listen and react?In Playback performance, actors are needed not so much to act and portray, but primarily to form the listening space. Smooth, sincere, quivering. As once upon a time. In those days, when everything was a little easier and we were closer to each other. When we felt like a community, a tribe, a family and gathered around the fire to tell each other stories from our lives. *** It is important for us: - It is important for us to create a space in which there is a place for every voice, every story, every heart - It is important for us that afterwards you feel heard / heard “It is important for us to remind you that theater is only a reflection or reproduction of life. And its unpredictability is worth all the knowledge and accomplishments, because the most memorable and valuable in life does not go according to plan and in the end becomes the story that you want to preserve and pass on.
