SUMMARY:REV6LVER
DESCRIPTION:Rev6lver is a participatory performance festival featuring five distinct one-on-one\nperformances and one conference. One-on-one performance excels at creating\nintimate\, personalised connections or immersive experiences. Like a revolver\, it is\nnot the fastest way\, but the power is reliable: each performance is loaded\, aimed\,\nand fired individually. As a creative response to emerging aspects in advanced\ntheatre practice\, Rev6lver hopes to spark new possibilities with its six shots.\nPrioritising efficacy over efficiency\, artists from the Royal Central School of Speech\nand Drama chose the form of one-on-one in this experimental festival\, exploring\nthemes including memory\, shame\, somatosensory experience\, merge of reality and\nvirtuality\, and the transformative power of storytelling. Also\, the conference will bring\ninsights into the ontology of theatre.\n\nArtists: Hengquan Zhang\, Iyas Duhaithem\, Josie Qiu\, Peijia Luo\, Shiqi Cao\,\nYumeng Zhang\nCurator: Dalin Wu\n  \nPerformances and Conference: \n\n1. Spotted Confession\nCreated by Shiqi Cao\, performer by Shiqi and Allie Young\nTickets \nDuration: 15 mins\n\nIn Chinese tradition\, sometimes\, awareness of shame is considered a virtue. Such\ntradition was especially embedded in female education. But are we supposed to feel\nashamed for things we can not choose for ourselves? Should a baby feel ashamed\nof the shape of her nose when she was born\, and bring the ugliness with her like a\nstubborn spot on a new coat?\nThe Spotted Confession is a one-on-one performance containing personal\nmemories\, conversations between female generations and playful sights. Starting\nfrom the questions about the shame of her nose\, a given body part\, Shiqi invites you\nto an intimate journey and to touch the shame of the unaccepted existence as a\nhuman.\nNo worries\, it is not that scary. The space is spotted but soft. We cannot talk more\nabout the confession here. See you in the confession.\n\nContent Warning:\nThis performance work is themed on shame\, and will include conversations about\nthe female body and family relationships. Please note there might be body contact\nbetween the participants and the performer.\n\n2. Telematic Home Tour\nPerformed and created by Yumeng Zhang\nDramaturgy/Multimedia Operator: Xiaoyao Zhang\nTickets\n\n\n“A way how I connect with home\, a way how we connect with each other.”\nWith a reflection of the digital era we live in\, the telematic home has been created as\na space for people to return: it is a place free from the limitations of space and time.\nAs a guest invited to this telematic home\, you will enter a space between real and\nvirtual\, and receive an experience of touch with no touching…\n“Welcome to my home\, come in\, experience it and change a bit as you like.”\nTelematic Home Tour is a one-on-one telematic theatre performance\, inviting its\naudience to interact with the digital space and experience the memory work within.\nThe work explores how technology affects our perception of real and virtual and\nseeks a new approach to connecting with people in the digital ecosystem.\n\n3. Overwritten: A Technological Metamorphosis\nPerformed and Created by Iyas Duhaithem.\nPerformers: Jack Car\, Francesca Fatichenti\nTickets\n\n\nOverwritten invites you to embark on an extraordinary journey into the realms of\nmemory\, identity\, and human consciousness. In this immersive\, interactive one on\none theatrical experience\, we push the boundaries of storytelling and technology to\ncreate a truly unforgettable encounter.\nStep into a world where memories are not mere recollections\, but dynamic entities\nwaiting to be reshaped and reimagined. With the aid of cutting-edge AI and the\ntransformative power of psychodrama\, participants delve deep into their pasts\,\nconfronting the shadows that linger and rewriting their narratives for a brighter future.\nJoin us as we explore the intersection of art\, technology\, and human experience\, and\ndiscover the limitless possibilities that await within the depths of your own mind.\n‘Overwritten’ is not just a show—it’s an invitation to reinvent yourself\, to explore the\ndepths of your own consciousness\, and to embrace the transformative power of\nstorytelling.\nAre you ready to rewrite your story? Join us and embark on your journey of change.\n\n4. The Cannibals’ Grocery\nCreated by Hengquan Zhang\, performer by Hengquan Zhang and Sijia Yu\nTickets\n\nWhen you see\, hear\, touch\, smell or feel something\, does the fragmented\ninformation evoke a certain memory for you?\n\nDo you want to be really heard?\n\nDo you realise that what you say can generate untold power for others?\n\nWelcome to The Cannibals’ Grocery!\n\nHere\, you can pay by memory.\n\nAttention: This is an entirely participation-based journey in which you may hear the\nmost precious memories from complete strangers. Meanwhile\, we hope you will also\nfind the calmest happiness and satisfaction through sharing and being heard.\n\n5. Agency of My Body\nPerformed and created by Peijia Luo\nTickets\n\n‘I’m watching the world being pulled away from me and start spinning.’\n‘My body is entirely down to the ground. There’s no balance\, my world tilts.’\nIn this room with mirrors\, the audience are invited to stand in the artist’s shoes\,\nexperience a poetic\, aesthetic and personal journey of vertigo starting from a daily\nscene in tube station.\nAgency of My Body is a part of the research project exploring how to deconstruct\nand recreate individual bodily experience of physiological illness to the audience by\ncreating immersive scenography-led performance\, through various sensory methods\,\naiming to build up an aesthetic body image and immersive environment\, rather than\nimitating the realistic bodily experience of patients and letting the audience truly\nexperience the somatosensory perception.\n\n(Conference/Workshop)\nA “S” Movement & A “●” Moment\nCreated by Qiaosi Qiu\nOn Thursday 2nd May Only\n\nWhat if we conceive the theatre as a spinning coin?\nThis workshop will present a theory on the “movement” and “moment” in theatre\nperformance by sharing models and drawing practice\, aiming to provide an\nadditional cognition dimension to disturb the usually limited cognition in this\ndiscourse. The work is an endeavour calling on philosophical and critical reflection in\ntheatre practices.\nTheatre is both a breathing scene and an exploding scene. A ‘rotating’ theatre has a\nbreathing line of “S” and a pivot point of “•”. The breathing movement and the\nexplosive moment function simultaneously\, incarnating the theatre as a rotating\nplanet with life\, diversity and reformation\, floating in infinity.\nJoin our workshop to learn more about this ‘theatre planet’
