LiminalDK, MASTERCOPY
Participants of the Interregnum seminar are invited to the open dress rehearsal of the new piece MASTERCOPY devised by Erik Pold. MASTERCOPY investigates what happens when you start copying on all levels of a theatre performance. 3 performers: Daniel Norback, Merete Byrial and Jeremy Wade, explore different ways of copying, re-enacting, sampling and re-staging.
The idea is to avoid originality and authenticity: everything has been done or said before.
It is a mixed media-performance, and the use of video, live electronic sound and music is a vital part of the performance.
Venue: PLEX theatre, Kronprinsensgade 7, Copenhagen
Saturday, August 23 at 20:00. Free entrance
