Horror, points to the outside, Hauntology, slips time out of joint. The Body?
He’s standing by the door, he’s got something in his hand…
In this residency, Martin Hansen researches how the thinking body and the horror genre could interrogate each other. How can horror and the body think together to gently shift the theatre as a container? A container for spectacle, a place to observe, to be cultivated as a middle-class subject. What can aestheticised horror tell us about real horror and what real horror lies in the theatre? Mists, oozes, leakages, and slippage all permeate the theatre in an increasingly ominous weather.
At the culmination of this residency, Martin and collaborators will share this ongoing research in a series of informal showings at WXYZ Studios.
