Romance

About

Romance is a theatre work built from research into scenic devices that include the spectator’s presence. Its central device is the action of asking someone directly to speak. This act establishes a relation between spectator and performer and also creates a dialogue among different audience members. The staging is intimate rather than a conventional proscenium setup. Ordinary phrases are used to reflect on how individuals think within a group and how connections are formed between audience and performer. The source describes the device as participatory, without assigning named characters or roles to the audience.
