Crew of NEW ILLUSION, by Toshiki Okada/chelfitsch (JP) @SOTA Studio Theatre.
NEW-ILLUSION is the latest in a series manifesting chelfitsch’s innovative theatre style EIZO-Theater, which creates a unique performance space comprising life-size projected images of performances that interplay with the physical space and give rise to dynamic illusions. The content of the images is illusory: it is not quite present in the performance space – and yet, it is.
Projected images of a man and a woman begin talking about a play that was performed in the theatre, a play set in the room where they had lived together. But is what the two are talking about fiction or reality? As the fictional, projected space on screen and the real space of the theatre encroach on each other, the audience senses the presence of actors that are not supposed to be there. Reality and fiction, present and past, and existence and absence overlap on the stage. A new illusion created by EIZO-Theater comes into view through the subtle gaps between these dichotomies.
