Open Rehearsal | Manuela Infante with Teatro de Chile

Watermill resident artists Manuela Infante & Teatro de Chile present their research process using object oriented philosophy to the public in an open rehearsal. The theatre group will establish a collaborative laboratory where they will work exploring the moment of independence (from subjectivity) possessed by things. They will look at how objects can become vibrant things with a certain effectivity and voice of their own, how they can acquire an irreducible degree of independence from the words, images, and feelings they provoke in us. Taking the standpoint of a completely new form of “realism” they will engage in a new exploration infused by the ideas of the Speculative Realists, by the video art of Fichly and Weiss (Der Lauf der Dinge), the ideas of Graham Harman, Bruno Latour, Jane Bennet, Manuel De Landa and the film genre of slapstick.
