De Optische Kamer en Jij (performance 10')

The young Italian collective Orthographe likes to play games with the eye of the spectator. During a short media performance the sometimes hard to grasp concept of camera obscura is used and demonstrated. In this performance, children are the experts. During a workshop they are trained to be full-fledged theatre performers in only one day. Inside a human-sized ‘optical chamber’ (comparable to the inside of a photo camera) the fairy tale of The Golden Key by The Brothers Grimm is told. The actual story will be determined by the children, as they make and influence the moving images.
