T1878846770
Conversation, Charisma and Chance Kontakt is a theatrical experiment that blurs the boundary between performer and audience. 20 performers, 20 audience members and 20 bridge tables, each lit by a single overhanging light bulb. What follows is a series of unique one-to-one encounters, which can include conversations, drawing, writing and sometimes dancing.
Author Phillip Mackenzie (inspired by the work of German conceptualist Hannah Herzig)

Production details

Inspired by the work of German Conceptulalist, Hannah Herzig, Kontakt is a series of one-to-one performances with thirty young people aged 12-18, each sit at a table with a single light bulb and a chair opposite. Audience members are then invited to share in a unique encounter with them. "The idea behind the performance is getting two generations in contact with one another. How often does an adult sit across a table from a young person and have meaningful conversation?"
