PREMIERE

“The key starting point is Modern Times, a film by Charlie Chaplin that brings a lucid and somewhat romantic critique of Fordist principles of production, which illustrates a capitalist tendency towards mechanisation in the name of increasing efficiency and profit. The mechanical character of work at the assembly line trickles into the performance, and it relates to the heritage of Russian avant-garde theatre, particularly to the principles of Vsevolod Meyerhold, a Futurist enthusiast who favoured progress and comprised it into his theatre credo: actors performed movements with mechanical exactness in a mutual synchronicity, which gave meaning to their individual roles. They became wheels of a complex scenographic machine.” (Žiga Dobnikar)
