Iperformance forces spectators to abandon their role as passive observers seated in the dark. Illuminating the performance by phone light they become co-actors and co-directors with responsibility for unpredictable decisions: stand here and a woman weeps; move there and a man responds with sudden rage; meet an actor’s eye and set in motion a moment of unexpected intimacy: a kiss, a caress, a whispered secret, a confession, a prayer, a promise; seeming spectators might even be members of the cast. Who can tell? Inside the space, the set becomes an installation. Premiering at FITS, no two performances will ever be the same, and yet some things are constant: a recorded text is looped, too fragmented to follow, too loud to ignore; a radio plays in real time; and moving through spectators a maniacal director decides who leaves and who can stay. Some will witness everything; others get a brief encounter and a swift and sweet farewell. Iperformance is the first formal collaboration between Lewis, Mihut and Freeman and the institutions they represent. It grew across four continents and countless workshops with students in Athens, New York, Kurdistan, Perth, Melbourne and Cornwall. The result is a university theatre project that was made with students and is performed here by their professors.
