Deictic Dialectics (matralab, Montreal 2018)
Deictic Dialectics is a work of constructed philosophical dialogue. A group of participants are led through three dialogical games which aim at pushing the content and structure of a conversation into deeper relational and intellectual investigations. The instructions for participants read: "Everyone is working together in service of the conversation — a conversation that keeps changing, that is never settled, that is always fluid and becoming. The conversation is somewhat akin to a delicate animal that needs nurturing and food and attention and love. All decisions made in the entire performance are done with a deep sense of care for the development of this
conversation creature — only together can we infuse our dialogue with importance, urgency,
curiosity, complexity, play. Performers: Hilary Bergen, Lina Moreno, Isabella Donati-Simmons, Jack Bride,
Natalie Fletcher, Claudia Edwards.
