Unchilding | Ensemble Devised Theater Performance | World Premiere
Unchilding is an experimental theater performance, conceived and facilitated by visual artist Joshua Kaufman and a team of creative collaborators, that explores the personal tragedy of lost innocence.
In a traditional theater space cloaked in near-darkness, the audience is sonically immersed in two consecutive short stories that combine ambient soundscape and character dialogue.
The vignettes unravel as the stage is lit to reveal a sequence of visually rich, life-sized dioramas embodied by a sprawling ensemble of 27 performers.
Like sentient Caravaggios, the tableaus are suspended in time and brimming with potential energy. Not quite mannequins, not quite wax figures, Kaufmans tableaux vivants beg to occupy an uncanny space between stillness and suspension, displacement and embodiment.
Set to be performed in the Norman S. Benzaquen Hall at The DiMenna Center for Classical Music, this piece juxtaposes the vastness and austerity of the space with the intimacy of a radio play and power of live performance.
By elevating subtext and expressing character through fragmentation, Unchilding approaches the genre of tragedy as a realm of the unknowable and the withheld.
