(Contemporary Performance)

​

A reflection on theatre rituals, fantasy and institutional violence.

Drawing on her experience as a master of ceremonies and as an arts organisation employee, Rosa examines the relationship between a spokesman and their institution. She enters the stage for an in-house announcement, a thank you to the sponsors, a warm-up act…

This project of self-reflection and industry critique deals with apologetic addresses, revved-up entrepreneurial spiel and whether or not your asking for it. Through subversive humour she points to our expectations of the MC and plays with what happens when the composition cracks.
