Synopsis

‘A Complementary Set_Disappearing with an Impact’ is an extension to ‘Complement’. Starting with the question, “Are we able to control those outside of our gaze?”, it utilizes a gap between two media that form different space-time structures, i.e video and performance, to talk about the unpredictability created between two dimensions and three dimensions as well as what is on the other side of those.
While the premiere of Complement focused on the relationship between video and performers, A Complementary Set_Disappearing with an Impact uses the gap in the space that is free from our gaze and elements in the set, and does this in experimental ways that can be realized in a black box theater space.
Through direction that uses the variability of theater to create a space, it distorts our preconceived notions about the theater and expands itself to become an exploration of space.
With the video images of the past forcing their way through the gap of the camera’s gaze, and sound turning into a noise while losing its power to exist as music, the original movements get transformed. While looking at this process, the audience is exposed to a fascinating brain game where interactions between what’s seen and what’s not seen and between what’s disappeared and what exists. Theater’s limitation is tested in the space as it gradually changes into the space for thinking, and the performance is asking how the artists should look at this process with the audience.
