Riccardo Buscarini / Cameo

Cameo is a game in which narrative conventions play both as enemies and best friends. The piece is inspired by the work of Alfred Hitchcock and refers to the conventional narrative correspondence of three fundamental components: non-verbal communication, sound and framing. Magnification, displacement and juxtaposition manipulate and transfer these cinematic features in a theatrical construction in which stylised actions are expanded and exchanged in order to open up their narrative potential. Cameo is an image out of focus, an open question. It does not impose a single valid answer but invites the contemporary audience to question the importance of the individual perception and interpretation.
