NEW ILLUSION, chelfitsch/Toshiki Okada

In "New Illusion", the latest piece in the EIZO Theater series, the audience encounters the projection of two actors. The two are talking about a play that was performed in this theater until the day before and is set in the room where they lived together for a long time. But is what they are talking about a play and therefore a fiction, or is it their actual lives and therefore reality? In "New Illusion", the fictional space projected onto the screen and the real space of the theater constantly overlap and for a moment, the audience feels the presence or absence of the two actors, who should actually (not) be there. "New Illusion" oscillates in a virtuoso way between fiction and reality, present and past and presences and absences in space.

EIZO-Theater describes a new style of theater that touches on the origins of theater in an innovative way and challenges the audience's imagination.
