Scenario for a Non-Existent, but Possible Instrumental Actor September 15, 2011

Scenario: For A Non-Existent, But Possible, Instrumental Actor by Evoe Performing Artists from Germany. This Futur3 production in cooperation with Freihandelszone was written by Boguslaw Schaeffer and performed by André Erlan. Scenario is a physical comedy about the struggle of making art featuring fire, water, flour, ping-pong balls, buckets, fishing lines, a cello, and every inch of the stage. The play is based on a lecture about the state of contemporary art, which concludes that technology is withering the "aura" of art by diluting its ritual aspect and destroying the concept of "authenticity." The show proceeds to undercut the highfalutin' mental games artists play, with sequences of abstract buffoonery creating a physical comedy that is sardonic, thoughtful, and ridiculous. This piece, written by Boguslaw Schaeffer, has been performed over 1500 times since 1976. It has been highly praised by critics, beloved of audiences, and has received the Grand Prix at the 1995 New York Theatre Festival.
