The Making of Doubt – Colette Sadler
Posted by bellanna on April 23, 2008
Colette Sadler’s piece The Making of Doubt is a highly visual performance dealing with the gap between fiction and non-fiction. In this performance, Colette maps the rules that govern the creation of representation and how movement vocabulary is made, as well as questioning the gap between the real and the fictional aspects of theatre.
Through the use of highly advanced movement techniques and intelligently constructed puppets, the audience is confronted with the question of what constitutes the distinction between a real body (read: of flesh and bone) and a Styrofoam body (read: puppet). The answer: very little.
