Experiment Ionesco is an adaptation of Ionesco’s ”The Chairs”. I wanted the
sound for the piece to emerge from extreme loneliness. I wanted the actors to
hear with their own ears how the loneliness is pumping through, making music
and allowing them to be joyful. The chairs, the memories, started to change
and they needed string to be tighten together… in order not to escape from
the fragile spasm of happiness of the two characters. I developed the piece in
Wickham Theatre while studying at Bristol University. Happiness lies in sadness
and sadness lies in happiness. Old people lie in young people and young people
lie in old people. The 2 characters – ‘Semiramis’ and ‘My Little Pet’ – have their
memories constructed and then deconstructed under the pressure of the deep
isolation from their own life.
