Renaissance

on programme

31. 5. 2021. On-line

We have decided to re-awaken our understanding of the collective, of relations that form the collective field, by using a stone puppet that resembles a human being. River stones are sacred in our local environment. And Michelangelo's David, one of the truly iconic Renaissance masterpieces, was also made of stone.
We knew that certain attentiveness had to arise in the field among puppeteers and of course - between them and the puppet. We didn’t ask for help from experienced puppeteers. We decided instead for approach of “The three puppeteers”, who will have to learn how to work together and work with the puppet. We - The Group, a team with a lot of personal issues, as in every community - gave ourselves a goal to awaken life in a puppet and to record our learning process of evolving to a fully functioning, supporting and creative community with a sense of aesthetics. Isn’t that how we understand Renaissance?
