CHICAGO DRAMATISTS
(798 N Aberdeen Ave.)
Dis | Ambiguation
A controlled, time-limited psycholinguistic exposure designed to examine participant response to escalating semiotic saturation, iterative verbal and sonic repetitions, oppositions, multiplications, proliferations, reorientations, and staged sensory withdrawal. OR quite possibly... An accidental encounter in a random time and place; a bit of flotsam or detritus; the wreckage of a life lost to unexamined liminalities.
Performance and sound, Christophe Preissing
Video, Matt Bodett
Voices, Tina Fakhrid-Deen and Julian Otis
Cut-up poetry, Andrew T Royal (from Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus)
Performance advisor, Jeff Glassman

Christophe is a sound composer; a teller of tall tales; a found object interlocutor; a creative instigator; a production organizer. His goal is to facilitate situations in which each audience member has an individual encounter with creativity—to not merely give something but to allow spectators to bring something and to take something with them. Bypassing conventional creator-audience hierarchies through direct participation gives decision-making power back to participant-observer. As individuals within a group, we bring personal experiences and insights, which when combined with those of others, we may create a powerful group experience.
