1st open rehearsal: Friday 08.09

Some people from around Moosach came to META Theater on Friday evening. We asked some questions such as the following:

What do prostheses evoke in you? Why? What do prostheses remind you of? Comments we got:

• They look like pincers, bats
• It is not inviting
• They can look evil, they are not beautiful
• Sharpness is threatening
• Looks like a skeleton, the carcass of a dead animal
• They look very different depending on where the person place them
• Why are they not covered?
• They look like they are looking for something
• They look like antennae or organs of perception
• Why do they all look the same?
• Beauty is in the movement
• Meditative.
• Raw, naked.
