This a copy-paste post. I took from http://www.5tomidnight.org , a theater collective with members from multi-nations in Asia and Europe. The post was about a work-in-progress we did at Accademia Mutamenti in Cinigiano, Tuscany-Italy during winter 2016. We devised a play from Craig Thompson’s graphic novel HABIBI. Under 10 to 15 degree celcius, I was the most struggle with the weather. For my three friends: Ethan Chia (Singapore), Brune Charvin (France), and Saul Wang (Canada-Taiwan), it was chill. Then I chilled 🙂
HABIBI: A RESIDENCY HOSTED BY ACADEMIA MUTAMENTI AS PART OF FARM IN CINIGIANO, GROSETTO, TUSCANY
THIS DECEMBER, 5 TO MIDNIGHT WILL BE TRAVELLING TO CINIGIANO, A VILLAGE IN GROSETTO IN THE TUSCANY REGION OF ITALY TO CONTINUE ITS WORK ON THE GRAPHIC NOVEL ADAPTATION OF CRAIG THOMPSON’S HABIBI. THE RESIDENCY WILL SEE ETHAN CHIA IN COLLABORATION WITH ABDI KARYA (INDONESIA), SAUL WANG (TAIWAN) AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS FROM AROUND EUROPE DEVELOP THE THEATRICAL LANGUAGES TO TELL THIS EPIC STORY OF LOVE, LOSS AND REDISCOVERY OF HOW TO LOVE AFTER LOSS.
PARTICIPANTS WILL TRAIN UNDER ETHAN’S PRACTICE-AS-RESEARCH METHODOLOGY OF SYNTHESISING THE PERFORMER’S BODY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEVISING AND PERFORMING, WHILE CRAFTING A WORK-IN-PROGRESS PRESENTATION OF SECTIONS INSPIRED BY THE NOVEL IN WHAT HE CALLS A “LIVE-ACTION TRAILER”.
THE COLLECTIVE WILL ALSO BE WORKING WITH RENOWNED THEATRE COMPANY MUTA IMAGO, ALSO HOSTED BY ACADEMIA MUTAMENTI ON EXPLORING THE PERFORMER’S CAPACITY FOR INFINITE POSSIBILITY.
