Teatro DO: The Perception Project
The Perception Project is the 2012-2013 experiment conducted by Teatro DO
The project is comprised of three parts: 1) Life is a dream; 2) Morir Soñando (street project); and 3) Butterfly's Dream. The first part, "Life is a Dream", will take place at The Performance Art Institute in San Francisco, CA in June, 2012. Several young artists, under the direction of Renata Tar (a.k.a. Renee Torres), reenact Calderon de la Barca's "Life is a Dream", the 1695 literary classic written during the Spanish Golden Age. The artists use dance, theater, video, food, and art to assist the reenactment.
Teatro Do will test and savor a map-draft of the performance with audience participation.
Renata Tar is a Venezuelan director, choreographer, and Gestalt therapist from CENAIF. She was educated by her family's political theater company (on Brechtian and Boal theater), and studied with the Grotowski LAB theater (on the actor and physical action), with Pina Bausch (on dance theater language), with the Odin Theater (on street theater and acrobatics), with Brief Goft and The Talking Band (on images and music), among other studies. She is also a linguist and has been living, teaching and creating performances, installations, rituals and dance-theater performances around the world.
