The Playgoer, is a new experiment of interaction spectatorship. In previous projects, I have tried several methods to achieve this object, such as position interchange, role infliction, and light irradiation to oppress audience. In this piece, I tried to build an invisible theatre by using invisible actor (body replacement) , but sound display. The purpose of replacement of actor's body, is to raise audience’s essentiality in the balance of audience actor inter-relations.
This performance alternated with other's, as prologue and ending, since the unawareness of theatregoing is essential for invisible theatre. But I put the form of The Last Supper into it, to avoiding excessively performance scenarion and continuing role infliction part.
The pressure in this piece could be found in these points:
1, ask to swich off mobiles and cameras;
2, ask to tuck napkins into their T-shirts;
3, ask to draw food order down on their white plates.
In the aim of achievement of participation, I chose theatre of the oppressed to forcing visitors instead of offering more freedom to them, as that the apectator today should walk out of the stage of emotional resonance, and then realize rational criticize.
