Iron Theater
Things, objects have a very special way of communicating – with us and with each other – gwarggaflrlghf! The apparatus of a conference is the starting point for this new incursion into the world of things. This device is, like all others, a way of organizing objects (a table, chairs, microphones, etc.), bodies, discourses and some rules – some written and others implicit. This is not, however, just any conference: the lecturer is an actor and his communication is a performance in which the objects insist on having yet another word to add.
Our guest will try to present some ideas on the matter. Will he be able to do it in the midst of a revolt of objects? Don’t miss this conference, it will be lively!
This is the second moment of a cycle dedicated to objects that Teatro de Ferro started with the Popular Itinerant Object Library.
“Our Object Revolt wants to tell us about all this and also about the fear that a certain piece of furniture inspired in us in childhood, especially when it cracked in the middle of the night – this is for us the beginning of the revolt…” – Igor Gandra
