About the performance
The minute we are born we find ourselves in a situation of being
casted, selected, competed against. For a place in the
kindergarten, in the most prestigious (or the nearest) school, in
the sports team.
Then there are exams, school competitions, grading scales.
Followed by final exams, entrance exams and university exams. Then
résumés, CVs and job applications -suffering through anything
imaginable, only not to be prematurely retired.
And not to forget - it is also very important on which
cemetery you are buried.
On TV, endless competitions: who is to win the million, who will
participate in the Big Brother show and become famous,
Eurosong contest for adults, Eurosong contests for children (that's
right, people have to be sucked in while still very young).
Miss World! Miss Universe! Tears of joy, tears of
disappointment...
Books of records, minutes of glory...
To win, to fight through no matter what, to gain advantage over
others (by whatever means necessary: tripping others, tricking
them, pouring them with acid) - that is the only way to shiny
happiness. There are no other ways to achieve it. Only to
become a star in the show business. America's Next Top Model,
Russia's, Japan's, Austria's. Dancing with the Stars, Figure
Skating with the Stars, Circus with the Stars, Shunting with the
Stars.
Stars, stars, stars, how are they keeping up? What are they
doing? Who are they living with? The new astronomy. A total peep
show...
Mikhail Bartenev, playwright (Russia)
About the process:
At the beginning, there was a wish to create an intercultural
production that should be based on the stories, experiences,
motives and ideas of the actors from seven different cultures of
Europe and Asia. The process started in the ateliers we made in
Linz, Austria and Okinawa, Japan in summer 2011. Mikhail Bartenev
and Ivica Šimić met in Zagreb in October 2011 to formulate all the
ideas and stories in a first draft of the play. In February 2012,
all the actors gathered in Okinawa, to start their work, having for
the basis this first draft. After three weeks of improvisations,
rehearsals and tryouts, through which a lot of intercultural
contacts and exchanges was made and explored, huge material was set
and organized, and that was a treasure! The work in calm and
isolated February Okinawa gave birth to the second draft that
Mikhail wrote in June, and which is the basis for the performance
SUPERHERO, rehearsed and performed in Seoul, South Korea in summer
2012.
The form of the story is a reality show. We chose this form not
to create a parody, but because it allows actors to show their
individuality. It is a reality show, because the process we were
creating the play in many ways resembled a reality show (actors
involved in the project spend a lot of time together, getting to
know each other in the process of working, improvising towards a
not entirely clear goal, living together, eating together...). That
is one of the reasons why our SUPERHERO performance has the very
same form.
