Egale Lage

Insights into the pataphysical realisation

A production of the puppet theatre course at the HMDK Stuttgart

 

Five explorers move in search of new insights in special spaces where the boundaries of the world beyond the laws of nature seem to be mutable and open. In a series of evidential experiences on 'pataphysics', the science of imaginary solutions, they make it clear that the definition of space, time and movement is solely a question of point of view. Using unusual angles and manipulations of live cameras, the experts become puppet-like subjects of their own experiments in video projections. They climb into perspective traps, calculate calculated errors and find their way around optical illusions freed from gravity. In a bizarre state of suspension between imagination and fact, they visualise the ambiguous nature of things and processes. EGALE LAGƎ creates an ironic intermediate space in which reality is an illusion and at the same time the illusion is a reality. In the controversial encounter between perception and reality, liberating deviations and relieving exceptions appear as a new orientation for a welcome change of situation.
