description
10 theatrical tableaux – photographs from non-existent/possible theatre pieces is offered via the Internet to the audience. (www.akademie-solitude.de/actress). They will all feature an Actress (Sena Djorović) in different theatrical inscenations, atmospheres, contexts. The audience is invited to vote in advance for the performance they would like to see. The performance that the audience sees is created according to the preferences of the audience, based on their votes.However, no matter how elaborate and multiple in its possibilities the beginning might be, striptease is striptease – it always has a same ending. Besides baring herself to the flesh, the Actress will bare the audiences’ desire, not only embodying it, but also analyzing what she performs and confronting her ideal photo-self, her stage-self and her work-in-progress private-self.
