Spectacle explores learning mechanisms in our everyday life. It constitutes an on-stage experiment; an illogical circuit of action where people try to train and educate the others. This –invisible- circuit has its own rules, its own stops, obstacles, crossings, accidents, obligations and repetitions. Controllers become the controlled, researchers become the subjects of research. The instinctive side of people serves as a means of manipulation and becomes a spectacle. The focus is on presenting the conflict between instincts and social codes and the process of conditioning a personality.
First presented in the context of Athens Festival 2011, in the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens (EMST).
