THE NEWS”: The Story of a Monster Who Feeds People News, Piece by Piece

PUF OFF continued on P**a’s waterfront with an event marking the International Week of the Deaf.

Presented in collaboration with the Istrian Association of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and Signdance Group Znakovni Ples , the performance was titled Notizen/The News, or Vijesti and Novosti in Croatian. From the outset, its subject was clear, communicated through both spoken and sign language.

The characters move through a world saturated with information. Headlines flash, whispers intensify and gestures repeat like echoes.

Led by composer Angelina Schwammerlin, the performance is immersed in an elemental musical landscape, created and shaped through her long-term collaboration with directors David Bower and Isolte Avila of the long-established Deaf-led Signdance Collective.

Slovenian puppeteer Barbara Bulatović expands this world through tiny movements that open emotional spaces, surreal images that transform the atmosphere and moments of visual poetry.

“I’m a big monster. I’ll feed you the news, piece by piece,” one of the characters warns.
These days, it is popular to fear the media, even though everyone consumes it. The performance also suggests that a person does not need to hear in order to be exposed to information, or to misinformation, as we now often call it.
“News, today’s news, yesterday’s news... Let’s move on,” the performers shout as they tear strips from daily newspapers.
The result is short and effective

Istria Glas

Produkcija PUF OFF u suradnji s Udrugom gluhih i nagluhih Istra i Kazalištem znakovni ples predstavlja predstavu Notizen/The News kojom će obilježiti Međunarodni tjedan gluhih. Predstava će se prikazati u petak, 25. rujna, na pulskoj Rivi (preko p**a Trga Sv. Tome) u 18 i 30 sati.

NOTIZEN / THE NEWS se odvija u javnom prostoru – mjestu susreta tijela, signala i promjenjivih vremenskih prilika – gdje se vijesti, prosvjed i ljubav sudaraju u stvarnom vremenu.

Likovi se kreću kroz svijet zasićen informacijama: naslovi bljeskaju, šapat se pojačava, a geste se ponavljaju poput odjeka. Spoj znakovnih jezika, plesa i kazališta Signdance Theatrea daje toj turbulenciji fizički puls – jezik jasnoće, otpora i povezivanja.

Transmitter Performance, pod vodstvom skladateljice Angeline Schwammerlin, prožima predstavu elementarnim glazbenim krajolikom, koji je nastao u zajedničkom stvaranju i oblikovan dugogodišnjom suradnjom s redateljem Davidom Bowerom iz dugogodišnjeg kolektiva Deaf Signdance Collective. Zvuk postaje vibracija, ritam postaje arhitektura, a tišina postaje sila za sebe.

Slovenska lutkarica Barbara Bulatović proširuje ovaj svijet delikatnim, pomalo začudnim objekt-kazalištem – sitnim pokretima koji otvaraju emocionalni prostor, nadrealnim slikama koje mijenjaju atmosferu te vizualnom poezijom koja ostaje prisutna još dugo nakon
što se prizor raspline.

Notizen je susret uživo na otvorenom: dijelom signal, dijelom ritual, dijelom zajednički dah.
