Empathy Project
Vol. I
"Empathy is what happens to us when we leave our own bodies...and find ourselves (..) in the mind of the other. We observe reality through her eyes, feel her emotions, share in her pain.."
Khen Lampert (2005)
Empathy Project puts the phenomena of physical empathy in the center of its interest and questions the role of Empathy our days. It looks for new possibilities of bridging the ‘human’ and the ‘artistic’ in a manner that emphasizes empathy.
Vol. I examines the methods and possibilities of empathizing with socially rejected ones – in this case, drug addicts, alcoholics and the homeless, through the process starting with the search for a common empathy within the group of the performers. Thus, three human beings turn into a ‘tabula rasa’ and blurring the borders between life and theatre, they rush through the world melting with different surroundings. Now after their ‘trip’, they share with you another point of view onto life and take you into another time dimension. Are you ready to extend yourselves into situations you have never experienced, feel for people a bit different from yourselves and begin to understand these people in ways you may have never thought possible? The lights will go off in around two minutes..
