Call me, a research on temporary vanishment

(2017)

One-to-one participatory performance

– Hi. I’m happy that you came. I wanted you to come here because I need help on a research that I am doing. I’m wondering if it is possible to disappear for a little while from our lives. –

– Give yourself a time to lose time. Take 30 to 60 minutes to follow an objective, to notice a smell, a trace, a noise. Don’t let anyone get to you. Nor your friends, your parents, your sisters and brothers. Be unreachable, untaggable, untraceable by your followers. –

CALL ME is a one-to-one participatory performance that moves across the city and takes place exclusively by appointment.

Everything starts with a phone call. By calling the given phone number, you will receive instructions on time and place where you must show up alone.
Someone will be waiting for you, sitting at the table of a crowded café or on a bench in the central square.
Trying not to catch attentions, you must sit and listen carefully. 

Call me investigates the possibility of leaving the audience alone and conspiring on its temporary volunteer disappearance.

CALL ME è una performance che attraversa la città e si svolge esclusivamente su appuntamento.

Inizia tutto con una telefonata. Chiama il numero a disposizione e prendi un appuntamento.

Ricevi istruzioni su dove e quando farti trovare. Dovrai presentarti da solo. 

Troverai qualcuno ad aspettarti, seduto al tavolo di un bar o sulla panchina di una piazza.

Siediti accanto e senza dare nell’occhio ascolta cos’ha da proporti.

CALL ME indaga intorno alla possibilità di lasciare solo lo spettatore e architettare la sua temporanea e volontaria scomparsa.
