(A video to give a rough idea how's Etiquette like. However, it is not in English version.)
One the events that I went for Singapore Arts Festival is the Etiquette. This was conducted on 1st June 2009 in Dome, Marina Square.
Originated in London and Brighton, UK and produced by ArtsAgenda, Etiquette is a Rotozaza Production written by Ant Hampton and Silvia Mercurialli. Rozaza is one of the UK's lost consistently astonishing and creative performance groups who engaged in experimental theatre, performance and live art.
In my opinion, Etiquette has it's own unique characteristics that stands out among theatre performances. It gives an opportunity for an individual to play both the roles of a performer and audience. This half-hour performance is a shared experience for two people. In this case, it's me together with a friend!
Being the actors of the performance, we are assisted with instructions that is given through the headphones in order for us to respond accordingly. In addition, simple objects, considered as the "props" for the performance such as pens, papers, two minis statuesque of a male and female are provided as well. It gives a unique and private performance as only the two of us knew that a performance is actually going on in the cafe. Furthermore, I personally think that this performance test our listening skills and it offers the fantasy of speaking to someone without having to plan what to say and respond. Shots are taken below!
