RAT Re:Rat,The dramaturgy of...

[lisa caramail <lisakaramel@yahoo.com>]

hey rats,

there were some theatres in europe last century with
no audiences 
involved 
at all.all their time.
for me this means a kind of theater with the human
quallity of fun or 
pain, 
with ritualistic or just friendly communion attitude
then performative.
and it seems so fascinating in this World of
Commodity.
it's really boring when you see anti-theater on
sale,living theater on 
sale, 
sterile educative academia of comedia del arte through
the capitalist 
communism  and beaurocracy of funds,committes,links
and
endless deadly workshops with fake smiles and
enlitenments...who needs 
this 
autopsy?what kind of audience could be your spectator
when you try to 
get 
admiration of the masses using others' blood and their
life 
sacrifices...when you sell everything - fluxus then
off and off-off and 
fringe and rat,you are an expert,very experienced
director of modern or 
[postmodern theater and you know how to make things
fit in a way you 
could 
fuck the hard dramaturgy of old theatre and by the way
fuck those 
naive 
people who do something for free,for your freedom and
profit..

woods are always great for me and rm 120 theatre too.
and i agree,robert,there should 
be 
an audience once you got a theater,but that audience
ought to be one of 
the 
comedia del arte's at least,an anti-audience so to
speak. yes,theatre 
is a 
joint experience.including audience. you do theatre so
you can do 
(find)your 
audience,but sometimes you failed or something works
wrong way..
van gogh couldn't stay isolated,no book or painting is
possible without 
spectator/reader(at least in future),but theater can
do it..as every 
actor 
is a spectator too. here still exists an
interaction,communication.

but when everything becomes university and market you
can say fuck 
them,you 
really must say this. it's not personal,especially in
our time.
