Stage psychosis

Created and performed by Carmen Coţofană
Duration: 25 min

The solo Stage Psychosis is meant to be a brief analysis of the concept of mask, regarded not only from a psychosocial point of view, as ‘persona‘, but also from a theatrical one, starting from the hypothesis that one uses the ‘mask‘ to protect his/her intimacy, and also as an instrument of regulation and adaptation. By using this investigation in a stage context, the piece aims to discover theatrical attitudes and mechanisms accessed through the performer’s own mask.

"Starting from an examination of her own body, hands, head, legs, nails, but also her own artistic experiences, as performer, largely, involved in different stage/choreographic discourses, with different tasks, Carmen Coţofană comes to possess a dynamic and mature informational baggage, etc. Hence, in this project, Carmen Coţofană leads a terrible, complex, harsh battle, never seen before, anywhere. Some say that she fell off her horse and died under the hooves of her men's horses. Others say that she was killed by a spear."
