Dear Masato, all at once (get a life, the only thing that cuts across the species is death)
— a play and exhibition in collaboration with Northern Theatre Company. West Space, 4 Nov - 10 Dec, 2016
Some advice, or information (but not rules):
NOT A PLAY
This is not a play. It is a piece of writing. However this piece of writing might resemble a play. The writing was not written, it was spoken. It is the record of an exchange between groups.
ACTS
The writing is made from six Acts. These Acts could also be called vignettes or non-sequiturs. The performance of the Acts requires 8-10 Actors. There is a Chorus, which is additional.
LOGIC & STRUCTURE
West Space is the stage. The stage must form a loop. This loop is a structure with its own logic.
DURATION
The play will be performed at West Space over three days. There will be a beginning, middle and an end, but in no particular order.
Presented across the entire gallery, this project is part of West Space’s annual commission series, which invests in a local artist to create a new body of work. Dear Masato is the second iteration of the series, following Dead Still Standing by Lou Hubbard in 2015.
