Performance is a time-based act of communication involving some people in the role of the artists and some in the role of the audience. The common understanding of this equation is simple: the artists create a ´”living artwork”, a performance. The audience perceives the performance, witnessing or participating, they read through the different parts involved. The artists expose a new arrangement of elements that fits their purposes; among the material they choose from – sound, text, image (etc) – the artists also design the persona in which they will present themselves, the way they will behave while performing. The audience plays their part as well: they listen, look, cough, whisper, laugh, snore, fall asleep or leave, slamming the door behind them. They show themselves with their behaviour too.
The performance evening “On and beyond a Stage” presents a variety of positions towards the act of performing one’s “self-character-act”.
