FEELING CHILE? PLAY AROUND UNDER THE COVERS ...


This from Ananova, via Las Ultimas Noticias: a new play, called Bed, is being staged by the Aire Theatre Company at La Quinta Normal Theatre in Santiago, Chile. This play has an unusual line in audience participation, since it requires 40 members of the audience to share a giant bed. The lucky participants are selected at random and have to wear blindfolds for the whole hour-long performance. The actors then perform different "experiences" on the volunteers: different sounds, whispering in their ears, touching their bodies with warm towels, massaging them with oils and making them smell different fragrances. The idea is to provoke strong emotional reactions. A spokesman said:
"People say they experience childhood memories. One woman even said she had recovered a lost memory of her father's death".
The IPKat says "I wonder if members of the audience enjoy the right to control the recording and subsequent exploitation of their performances". Merpel says: "Ay, there's the rub ..."

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
