Uprizoritev
Pokaži in povej je eksperiment, ki izziva krhko ravnotežje med tistim, kar je izrečeno, in tistim, kar je narejeno. Phil Hayes in Simone Aughterlony upoštevata domnevno hierarhijo med omenjenima načinoma komunikacije in vzpostavita dialoško prakso, v kateri imata zaznavanje in ugotavljanje smisla enakovreden status. Kar se na začetku morda zdi prisiljena ločenost, je v resnici vabilo občinstvu, da izkusi dve različni vrsti pozornosti. Srečamo se z (njegovo) zgodbo telesa in telesom, ki obuja (njeno) zgodbo. Phil in Simone naredita, kar izrečeta, in izrečeta, kar naredita. Ta paradoks ni brez smisla. Gre za igrivo strategijo. Od začetnih ločenih teritorijev Pokaži in povej odpre skupen prostor za pogajanje, v katerem beseda in gib vstopata v kompleksno politiko interakcij zunaj običajnih hierarhij. Medtem ko ona artikulira veliko teles, poskuša on ugrabiti organizem občinstva. Ona s svojo prisotnostjo kontaminira njegov glas, hkrati pa jo njegovo sugestivno vijuganje odnaša in oddaljuje. Tako pripovedovalca zgodb kot zabavljača ona in on podrobno načrtujeta generične zgodovine/zgodbe morebitnega telesa, ki nikoli ni preprosto dano kot celota, ampak vstopa v našo zavest najpogosteje v trenutkih zloma. To telo je nemi protagonist, imaginarni tretji tega dueta. Njegov življenjepis se piše v zgovornih brazgotinah in boleznih. Krvavi in se celi, raste in razpada – avtentično spektakularno. Ali fantastično resnično?

Show & Tell
xx FOCUS SIMONE AUGHTERLONY
Switzerland/Germany/Great Britain / 2013 / 70'
Performance
Show & Tell sets up an experiment that challenges the fragile relationship between what is said and what is done. Phil Hayes and Simone Aughterlony consider the supposed pecking order between these two modes of communication and establish a dialogical practice whereby sensing and sense making have equal status. What may initially seem like a forced separation is actually an invitation to the audience to experience two different kinds of attention. We encounter the (his) story of a body and a body evoking (her)story. Phil and Simone do what they say, and they say what they do. This paradox is not redundant. It is a playful strategy. Starting from separate territories Show & Tell opens up a shared space for negotiation in which word and movement enter into a complex politics of interaction outside of habitual hierarchies. While she articulates as many bodies he tries to hijack the organism of the audience in a heartbeat. Contaminating his voice with her presence she is taken apart and away with its suggestive meandering. Both storyteller as well as show(wo)man, she and he map out the generic hi/stories of a possible body that is never simply given as a whole, but steps into our consciousness mostly in moments of break down. This body is the silent prota gonist, the imaginary third of this duet. Its biography inscribes in eloquent scar s and significant sicknesses. It bleeds and heals, grows and falls apart – authentically spectacular. Or was it fantastically real?
