DIRIGENT
The concept of interaction / reciprocity of actors, according to Wikipedia, is »the support that produces bounded products and conversations (Cybernetics)«. In this
piece, the „Conductor“ is used as a Metaphor for such complex relationships. In the musical world, the audience perceives him as the central figure of a process (the orchestral concert), where indeed multiple interactions happen, of whatever nature – musical, political or social. The production »Dirigent« is the result of a research into some of these possible relationships on the stage, without an orchestra but with several „Conductors“.
