Description

This study employs Jean-Paul Sartre’s theories of the ‘analogon’ and the imaging consciousness to develop the relationship between body and object in mask performance. It proposes that the analogon has the ability to pull the audience’s consciousness into a space that lies between the real and the fantastical, a space that can be defined as the imaginary. This production extends the relationship between bodies and non-bodies in mask performance, and uses this as a means of generating metaphorical images in order to make the imaginary world come alive in the audience’s imaging consciousness. Beyond The Wall aims to unearth the war over the reclaiming and salvaging of land between Israel and Palestine enunciating the West’s influence in the formation of the Gaza strip. The production makes use of physical theatre, masks, object manipulation, sound and set design to tell the story.
