Abstract
The thesis concerns the organization of production on a specific place, time and space, performance, οφηλία. This project attempts a new approach to the outdoor public space of British Cooks at the Old Fortress of Corfu, focusing on the notion that any space is potentially schematic. The central thematic axis in the narrative of the project is the Shakespearean Ophelia in light of her age, her role as wife and manic depression, which she is accepted to bear for the needs of the project. Searching for the multiple and pulsating realities of a manic- depressive woman in a transient state, such as Shakespeare's Ophilia, this work explores the ways in which the difference in place and time affects the design of transition between onstage and offstage, between the performer and the viewer, between dance theater and reality. Important to this project is the coexistence of a plethora of aesthetic forms and genres that manifest the performance event: theater, dance, performance, digital three-dimensional video projection, interactive set- ups and audiovisual walks of viewers for the project's experience. The aim of οφηλία is to present the course of the existence of the Shakespearean heroine, Ophilia, and the comparison of her to any other woman of the same or different age. The performance aims to connect the predetermined path of the viewer in the space with the notional essence of the work, in order to transmit the central idea of the performance through experience.
