Els límits de la «performance» des de perspectives teatrals

Authors

Abstract

The performance is a new attitude of interpretation andadventure which asks from the audience a different reading, a very different reading from the one asked by a conventional performance or avant-garde. A reading which comes from the tragic bottom of the inner attitude of human beings where the interest of emotions and feelings are above individual protagonism. A perception which requires, on the art of the performer and the audience, sorne distance. That is Albert Vidal's strictly personal point of view, a Catalan creator who, in a corversation about the limits of the performance from a theatrical viewpoint, explains his conception of the performance as the key to contemporary reading, the commitment of the artist of the future and the role of the audience in it. Albert Vidal's background is full of complete personal creations which come from the mime and progressively break with the conventional theatrical relationship in arder to bring theatrical languages to the limits of their imaginary conventions, those involving them in an integral play with perception. L'aperitiu, Cos, Pare Antropològic, Home Urbà, El venedor de gelats and the recent Exposició viva de 40 personatges, where he does not act, are his most famous productions, sorne of which have been widely diffused in several countries.
