<p>After an artistic practice devoted to minimal sculpture, art criticism, movies, artist's books, etc... I began working with sounds and I realized that most of the things I have done are based on words and language.</p>
<p>As regards the series I am just finishing now, United States, it is basically structured in four parts: transportation, politics, money and love. Each section has a kind of direction associated to a hand gesture. One of its main themes is the use of technology as a means.</p>
<p>One of the reasons that I use a lot of filters in sounds is to try to understand voices without bodies. Most of the voices in my work come through very different systems such as the one used in airports, where the speaker's voices is heard over the radio or the TV.</p>
<p>The difference between my work and theatre is that I am neither really creating characters withs pasts and futures, nor relating them to things like motivations. My characters are tones of voices.</p>
<p>I like to make a situation in a performance in which you are not actually really sure whether you have it or seen, it... In relation to that, one question that I used to gest asked a lot was: «What are you? Are you a sculpture ora musician ora filmmaker or what?» I never thought that it was a very important question, but it has something to do with virtuosity. Rather than being technically proficient within the rules of that particular medium, virtuosity is a resonating mechanims of the words where my works come out from.</p>...
Reflexions sobre el fenomen de la «performance»

<p>lt has always been difficult to define the performance, just because of its character, its originality and its interest: multiplicity, mobility and polymorphy. So, we could say that it is rather a kind of spirit related to a precise period than a kind of artistic work. One of the most suitable ways of analyzing that phenomenon from a personal point of view is approaching it personally, contacting directly the main protagonists of the accionist movements during the seventies.</p>
<p>After an analysis of the different key moments of the development of the performance, concerning the dates and the geographical locations, it is necessary to look over its close ties with theatre, which will give rise to such artists as Hermano Nitsch, whose activity is characterized by the absence of aspecific support. Nevertheless, there is one point where performance detaches itself from theatre: in the perfomance is the artist himself who puts in show. It is necessary to eliminate, both in theatre and painting or sculpture, all that means a return to the matter, to the technical skill. The means is the artist who devotes himself in public to a real act, neither simulated nor dramatized, notas an actor but as person who acts.</p>...

<p>RoseLee Goldberg's book Performance; Live Art 1909 to the Present, published in 1979 indicated in its closing chapter that performance art was moving more and more into the realm of entertaintment, using forms such as cabaret, television sitcoms and rock n'roll as the basis for new work, away from the more esoteric and often paradoxical work of the seventies, with its insistence on ideas over product, and concept over commonly accepted professional execution. Indeed, as this extract from the update of Ms. Goldberg's book Performance (plublished in the fall of 1987) shows, her predictions for the eighties were remarkably accurate. The new generations have created a body of work that is obsessed with the popular media. Indeed, the old cry by artists to break clown the barriers between life and art has, in their work, meant the breakdown between art and the media, often referred to as one between High art and Low. Ms. Goldberg describes the theatrical and highly professional mood of eighties performance, concluding at the same time that performance, despite its popularisation by the media, despite art school curricula and dissertations, remains an open ended and unpredictable medium for artistic experimentation.</p>...
Els límits de la «performance» des de perspectives teatrals. Conversa amb Albert Vidal
Article
Estudis escènics: quaderns de l'Institut del Teatre. 1988, Núm. 29
Accés obert
<p>The performance is a new attitude of interpretation andadventure which asks from the audience a different reading, a very different reading from the one asked by a conventional performance or avant-garde. A reading which comes from the tragic bottom of the inner attitude of human beings where the interest of emotions and feelings are above individual protagonism. A perception which requires, on the art of the performer and the audience, sorne distance. That is Albert Vidal's strictly personal point of view, a Catalan creator who, in a corversation about the limits of the performance from a theatrical viewpoint, explains his conception of the performance as the key to contemporary reading, the commitment of the artist of the future and the role of the audience in it. Albert Vidal's background is full of complete personal creations which come from the mime and progressively break with the conventional theatrical relationship in arder to bring theatrical languages to the limits of their imaginary conventions, those involving them in an integral play with perception. L'aperitiu, Cos, Pare Antropològic, Home Urbà, El venedor de gelats and the recent Exposició viva de 40 personatges, where he does not act, are his most famous productions, sorne of which have been widely diffused in several countries.</p>...
La «performance»: de les accions inicials als multimèdia dels vuitanta

<p>This text deals with a wide view, from the first gestures made by such artists as Marcel Duchamp, Piero Manzoni or Yves Klein till the performance of the end of the seventies and beginning of the eighties, entirely multimedia. Through that period, the incidence of FLUXUS and the happenings was very important for the consolidation of the performance of the end of that decade.</p>
<p>Conceptual art and one of its branches, body art, allowed the artist to think of himself as his own work of art. His body became another element of his artistic practice. Such names as Vito Acconci, Bruce Nauman, Arnulf Rainer and Klaus Rinke, among others, are exemples of it. Groups similar to the Viennese actionims appeared simultaneously. They, together with such artists as Gina Pane, Chris Burden, etc., devoted themselves to the search for physical limits.</p>
<p>The trip to introspection of Marina Abramovic and Ulay and the transformism of Urs Liithi, Manon, etc., were other possible trends together with the diverse use of such means as video, music, dance, theatre, etc. From that conjoction of interests was born the multimedia performance of the eighties, considered to be a possible «total work of art».</p>...

<div id="articleAbstract">
<div>
<p>La Fura dels Baus has gone across the Iberian Peninsula performing Accions and it has reached Argentine. People has thought that the group was bom with this show but that is not true. We should know its history. La Fura dels Baus appears in 1979 and in 1982 is reorganized. Its first actions have taken place in the streets of Sitges in 1983. Nowadays La Fura is composed of ten members and they define themselves as a theatre-music cooperative. One of the writings signed by the group is entitled “Manifest canalla” and reads as follows: «every action is a practical exercice, an agressive performance against the audience's passivity». Accions is a show which has been constructed in an empiric way: its plasticity is a combination of both painting and sculpture. They have never started from an academic idea to resolve plastic questions. Pyrotechnics are an important element in the show. In Accions there is neither actors nor characters but people perfoming actions. You can only talk about it in full details after having seen the show several times.</p>

<p>The “pipirondos” group has been quite great in number. We used to perform at the bars of some districts. Nobody has ever got away from playing a part; I have played the part of El Candel in La batalla del Verdún by Jose M. Rodríguez Méndez. La Pipironda, under the direction of Àngel Carmona, never dies. Its beginning goes back to 1957 with the creation of the Teatro Popular de Sala y Alcoba, by Àngel Carmona and Florenci Clave, and the meetings which some friends used to held at various bars in Barcelona once a week. A printed sheet called «La Pipironda» began also to be published. In its first phase the group’s repertory consisted of La estratosfera by Pedro Salinas, Navidad by Gregorio Martínez Sierra, El mestre de minyons by Feliu i Codina and the Auto de la donosa tabernera by Jose M. Rodríguez Méndez; this last play has been performed more thana thousand times. From 1959 till 1967 the group is in its fullest swing. In 1961 they go on tour to Vitoria, Baracaldo, Mieres, Oviedo, etc. Àngel Carmona is still alone and in1980 he takes up again the theatre with a King Lear at the Cafe Central in Girona street. Afterwards there have followed Lysistrata and Amor de Don Perlimplin con Belisaen su jardín. If I had money I would become a Maecenas and would say to Àngel Carmona: take up the theatre, only the theatre, as you like, don’t do anything else.</p>...

<p>He would live in Barcelona and visit the districts occupied by marginal immigrants; then he would go over the districts of the autochthonous population. Madrid has not got such sharp contrats despite the great number of foreigners who live there (Negros, Chineses, etc.). Angel Carmona set up a small group of theatre called La Pipironda which at first was composed of non-Catalan people. Its first name was Teatro de Sala y Alcoba. Carmona would try to look for our roots and harmonize the fact of being native of Barcelona and Catalan with the Spanish traditionalism. We would refuse cosmopolitism as a compulsory model. I began to collaborate early with the Auto de la donosa tabernera. Politics would mixed up with the theatre and the police began to rush into the performances. I still wrote another play, La batalla del Verdún, on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of La Pipironda. On remembering those times, you are amazed to see that Carmona has vanished and the homage he deserves has never been rendered to him. The independent theatre has followed another way, that of the “internationalism”, which differs from the one we would support. Now we can see the results: the theatre is going through a bad period.</p>...

<p>The distrust of the theatre in the Italian manner has been followed by its revaluation; this coincides with a revival of the interest in image and distance to the detriment of the search for contact and intimacy with the audience. However, the return to the theatre in the Italian manner does not correspond with the disappearance of works about non-theatrical spaces. Image and theatre only prevail over contact and place. Priorities have changed. The experiences of Arianne Mnouchkine at the Cartoucherie, and those of André Engel and Nicky Rieti, who look for new spaces for each performance, reveal this trend. Other directors, such as Roger Planchan and Jean-Pierre Vincent, have addressed painters of the «new figuration» for their scenographies. Patrice Chéreau and Richard Peduzzi have prefered the «utopian architectures » recreating places that upset for their ambiguity although they seem familiar. For Peter Brook, on the contrary, architecture becomes scenography. Antaine Vitez and Yannis Kokkos reconstruct the «state of theatre» as it were a «state of mind». In the French scenography there is a confrontation between these two ways: the true and the false. The return to the use of the curtain is symptomatic of the return to the image of theatre created by the passing of time: a theatre of imagination and secrecy, a theatre of distance and nota theatre of proximity.</p>...

<p>Theatre has often wondered if it is possible to reproduce history. Shakespeare, Schiller and Victor Hugo tried to achieve this purpose and, from another point of view, · on November the 7th 1920, six thousand actors commemorated the October Revolution. In Catalonia, the following plays represented recent landmarks of the review of history through theatre: Capmany and Romeu's Layret, Jordi Teixidor's Rebombori-2, Alfred Badia's Una croada, etc. Historical theatre is still able to exert the triple function that Shakespeare expected from it: its being productive, at the same time, from the economic, artistic and politic point of view. Lunatcharski, when explaining the reasons why he wrote his 86 Olivier Cromwell, asserted: «What interested me was —the question of the leader's psychology and, mainly, that of a revolutionary leader.» The third basic level of analysis of historical theatre is the one which causes most problems of, Iet us say, epistemological kind. Performing history on the stage means the possibility of making real the tunnel of time. The improvement of scenic technology also gives us the possibility of the deceit based on the illusion of the past: Belasco in The Girl of the Golden West spent three months in reproducing a «Californian» sunset. Historical cinema from Hollywood employed similar proceedings to the Romantics. Nontheless, theatre is not the reproduction of reality, but the creation of an unreal world useful to men's life. Brecht in Mother Courage does not deal with the Thirty Years War; he refers to one of the most serious problems which concerned his contemporaries. This does not mean at all that the playwright and bis collaborators neglect the historical strictness or the scientific knowledge of the past.</p>...

<p>The human being maintains a specially intense relationship with everything concerning time and space. The natural surrounding as well as the inanimated universe which surround him are perfect mute interlocutors, cause and effect of a great part of his activity. The structural and functional complexity of the environment has in its theatrical reproduction almost the same importance as human behaviour.</p>
<p>Theatrical practice has traditionally created guild divisions between setting, atrezzo and tools, corresponding to more or less systematical groups of objects, according to their size and function, within a technical judgment which, during the performance, separates the objects introduced by the characters themselves from those placed on the stage by other means. It could be said that this mechanical tradition arisen from the practice is better, in some of its systematization aspects, than many present theories about objects.</p>
<p>This work, under six epigraphs —«The Surrounding: from the Social Context to the Scenic Context», «Scenic Function of Objets», «Recognition of the Dramatic Role of Objects», «The Private Object», «The Aleatory Sign» and «Scenic Obligations»—, examines dramatically the representation of the social surrounding, according to the different scenic functions of objects and proposes a scheme of the working of the dramatic role of objects, from the study of the influence of personal accessories on the dramatic action in five recent Catalan adaptations for the stage: Guimerà's Maria Rosa, staged by John Strasberg; Brossa's Cavall al fans, staged by Jordi Mesalles; Genet's El balcó, staged by Lluís Pasqual; Labiche's El més feliç dels tres and Wilde's La importància de ser Franc, both staged by Jaume Melendres.</p>...

<p>During the 40's the Catalan theatrical life was restrained, for —till 1946— the censorship did not allow any performance in catalan. In spite of this, secret activities, such as H those taking place in the studio of the painter Xavier Portabella, activities which have not been reported till today, were carried out. Xavier Portabella was acquainted with the theatrical circle of the pre-war period; his studio was roomy and many people used to gather there far conversation. The painter's friends could go to these meetings freely and many of them even had the key of his apartment. Since he belonged to that social circle, Portabella was persuaded to write a play, El caragol i la corbata, from which we publish a passage, preceded by an evocation from his friend Terri.</p>...

<p>This is an interview with the self-taught dancer and choreographer Cesc Gelabert. While we accompany him through his choreographies he shows us the loneliness of a long distance runner, the discoveries during the long process of creation, the collaborations and encounters with other people.</p>
<p>It is a continuous voyage in the present and the past, from his first casual contact with the world of dance (1969) to the premiere of Alhambra (1983); from the moment when, for the first time, he found himself dancing alone in front of an empty auditorium until the moment when, also for the first time, he danced with another star, Lydia Azzopardi; from his search for reference points, looking around in a thousand and one courses in Catalonia and abroad which he paid for with money saved up during a whole year's word, until the time when he taught his discoveries at La Fábrica-Espai de Dansa. We go through the period of his «youth», of learning to walk, of collaborations with other performers, such as Frederic Amat, Lewis Richter, Rafael Subirachs: Acció-0, Acció-1 (Action-0, Action-1); of solitude, of running away to New York Mi viejo traje de pana (My Old Corduroy Suit), where he met Carles Santos (Cesc Gelabert & Dancers) and Perico Pastor; the return, two years later, to «motionless» Barcelona; loneliness again plata i Or (Silver and Gold); the chance meeting with Lydia Azzopardi, Danzas para interiores (Dances for Interiors); the reencounter with Carles Santos, Concert per a veu, piano i dansa (Concert for Voice, Piano and Dance); the beginning of an understanding (Alhambra, Five to Two).</p>
<p>The Risk of Investigating is basically a way of understanding life: investigating outside and inside oneself; it is a way of understanding dance: an archive of experiences, a reflection of life; it is an encounter with solitude.</p>...

<p>Theatrical activity is waning in Catalonia because of the exigencies of commercial profit. There is an urgent need to set up a theatre of investigation and this requires a theatre law, decentralized theatre policies and publicly financed theatre space (municipal theatres, multi-use houses). This is why we have decided to combine our efforts and propose: a) that work and show space be provided; b) that such space not be altered because of deliberately commercial interests; c) that the theatre of investigation we demand dues not mean a theatre for the “élite”; d) we don't interpret investigation as a lot of isolated experiences; e) the interest, quality and rigor of our previous work guarantee the seriousness of our proposal; f) reference must be made to the player who is not able to accept coherent work cycles, by g) our proposal is open to everyone who believes that theatre is alive and evolving.</p>...
Qüestions preliminars a la semiòtica teatral

<p>This article tries to shed light, by going over a series of texts, on whether it is possible or legitimate to make a semiotic analysis of the theatre and, at the same time, to delimit the relevance —the nature, so to speak— of the theatrical phenomenon. In the first part of the work —Theatre and Communication— there is an analysis of objections to theatre semiotic based on what may be defined as Panlinguistic Reductionism. This identifies language and communication, tongue and code, in a tautological way and considers double articulation to be essential in order to speak of language (Mounin, La Communication Théatrale, 1969). Metz, Eco and above all Ruffini (who defines the concept of Code by taking up Prieto's notions of sematic and noetic fields) expose the contradictions and errors implicit in mechanical, a priori transpositions of linguistic methods and notions to other semiotic fields. Mounin considers the relationship between stage and public to be one of stimulation but not of communication. But this objection stands on an erroneous base, since what is defined as «transposition among codes» really means «transposition between noetic fields with different codes».</p>
<p>The second part —The Object of Theatrical Semiotics: from the Text to the Performance— certifies the theatre’s complexity and code-variety or, as De Marinis says, the multidimensionality and heterogeneity of the theatrical phenomenon or again, as Marthes says, the theatre’s “informational polyphony”. Various works are analysed which, starting from the above-mentioned panlinguistic reductionism, reduce the semiotic analysis of the theatre to an analysis of the written text: Ingarden (who reduces the essence of the theater to the whitten text), Jansen (who considers the text as an invariant and the performance as a variant), Pagnini (who gives to the text the stature of profound structure and to the performance that of superficial structure), Gullí-Pugliatti (who considers the written text to be a metatext that describes the performance). After defending the relevance of the performance, a semiotics of transdisciplinary theater capable of avoiding panlinguistic reductionism is proposed.</p>...
