Speaking of spectatorship... WHITE CABIN @ the Theatre Centre

Considering all the talk about spectatorship around Thinking Out Loud (what with the Emancipated Spectator article and all), I think it's pretty exciting that the celebrated Russian theatre company AKHE is bringing their piece of highly physical theatre White Cabin to the Theatre Centre next week.

This is what their say about their show:
"Can a spectator influence what is happening on stage simply by his or her presence? Can the action onstage influence the very will of the spectator and the desire for self enrichment? Is it possible to project the action onstage directly into the mind and soul of the spectator? The female protagonist of this multimedia piece faces all of these questions and many more. Her co-performers provoke her, creating magical situations where the simplest reactions are projected into a metaphorical, decidedly absurd realm.

Check out the Theatre Centre site to get tickets.
