17. Ant Hampton/ The Other People Someone Else

A criticial outlook is often a defensive position, a desire to rip off the veil of surface appearance and get to the real stuff underneath. Yet not all truths are hidden. - Jacob Wren / Truth is Concrete Handbook

Looking back at Beursschouwburg's history, English performance maker Ant Hampton noticed that the arts centre often acts as some sort of ‘art catapult’: more interested in limits and crossing those limits by flinging ideas, questions and agents over its walls and into the city.

For this performance, Hampton further explores the boundaries of his autoteatro (1), experimental performances in which spectators participate by following precise instructions. He now takes it beyond instructions towards something like an assignment. Two audience-participants (you can be friends, colleagues, lovers, relatives…) find themselves realistically placed within an artificial conversation. That dialogue triggers a real conversation between two people who would otherwise never have spoken.

(1) For some time now, Hampton has been experimenting with performance settings in which the audience participates. A new kind of performance, in which members of the audience play a part, for each other. They are instructed what to do, what to say, etc., often through headphones. By simply following the instructions, an event falls into place. Autoteatro works are always automatic, and never involve any audience other than those taking part.
