Program Information

This performance allows us to confront society’s conditions of self-censorship. In addition, you’ll be led to examine the easily overlooked sexual objectification of the body. The body is presented not simply from a physical perspective but as a source of various emotions that we go through on a daily basis. Everything is determined by the participants’ choices and willpower. Each of them will thus be able to create his or her own unique experience. Even though the performance takes place under the same circumstances, individual experiences are bound to vary according to the participants’ differing ethics.

This performance pursues a ‘neutral colour’. The lone performer who greets each participant and the narrator’s voice are both devoid of any kind of emotions or personality. As they remain as colourless as possible throughout the performance, it is left in the hands of the participants to fill it with colours. As a result, the role of the performers is reduced to the minimum, while that of the participants becomes maximized; they have to continually ask themselves about which colours they’d like to choose.
