Is it vision? Is it reality? As part of Temps d’Images (Time of Images) festival Canadian director Denis Marleau and his company UBU will make their Hungarian debut with their technological phantasmagory series. The first phantasmagory is based on the play of the Norwegian author Jon Fosse („Sleep, Little Child of Mine”). Three little puppets with adult heads are seated on a shelf, floating in the middle of nowhere. Set against striking whiteness, this 15 minute long performance-installation probes basic questions of our existence, cleverly combining the genre of marionette and video technology. In „The Blind” twelve faces appear suddenly out of the darkness. Six faces of men and six of women. Their gaze is aimless, directionless, unfocused… All twelve are blind. Lost in a shadowy forest, far from the hospice where they live, they are waiting for their guide. They listen with fear or hope for the slightest sign around them. Darkness – a very impressive effect – creates a special atmosphere on stage: spectators find themselves in an unusual and strange situation, they are motivated to use all their senses.
