TFF: The Sofa Project

Comedy+Circus+Performance Art : English : 60min

According to the artist, the audience of this project is non-human: she performs for sofas. Marija was inspired by contemporary artists who are already making "post-human" shows for pets or plants and decided to take one little step further while researching audiences without any consciousness at all.

One of the main goals of the project is to research how are we as human beings related to sofas?
What can we discover about ourselves and others (humans and non-humans) in these relationships?
How much consciousness is needed to be an audience member or a performer?

After graduating from Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre, Marija Baranauskaite studied clownery at École Philippe Gaulier in France. She is a co-founder of New Circus association of Lithuania and besides her performing
projects she is the artistic director of Red Noses Clown Doctors Lithuanian team, and teaches at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre.
