Research in Movement. About the "The River at the End of the Road"
The Hans-Thies Lehmannian concept of chora-graphy is not only the latest attempt to describe contemporary theatre, but inevitably refers back to the beginnings that can be recalled. Thus, a less emphasized but more important aspect of the concept of chora-graphy arises: its approach from the side of movement in addition to (and below) space (spatialization) and speech. At the same time, chora-graphy brings into the picture the search for a movement or form of movement that confronts our own affective unconscious, that is, it provides us with traces of the search for a language, of the negotiation between ’insides’ and ’outsides’.
In principle, any of the theatrical sign systems can generate or trigger affects, but this is mostly related to the actor's work, especially to the actor's voice and movement, and especially to the actor's timbre or, in the case of movement, to unexpected, undecidable movements that do not constitute choreography in the traditional sense.
The present thesis deals with the research of movement in post-dramatic theatre in this context, and this theoretical framework was set in motion in an unexpected and refreshing way by the performance entitled „The River at the End of the Road”, realized within the framework of the University of Arts in Târgu Mureş.
