„Crowd”. Noktorama teatru Gisèle Vienne
Crowd. Nocturama by Gisèle Vienne’s Theatre

Summary/Abstract: The author presents the theatre of Gisèle Vienne, a French-Austrian director and choreographer, as a laboratory exploiting darkness being a place for the becoming of the subject, for experiencing disturbed reality, for abolishing the opposition between the living and the dead. Exploring twilight, the director touches upon phenomena that violate the norms that in the general perception belong to the field of negativity, reveals that which is covered, that which activates the imagination. Darkness becomes a space for an intimate narration of hidden human dispositions. This article is an analysis of the performance Crowd (2017), in particular the three components that determine its structure and dramaturgy, i.e. time, light and space. The author engaged in a process of overt participant observation; she followed the rehearsals for the performance from 2016 to 2017 and created her own archive of the research process.
