The Quiet Volume<\/em><\/a>, d’Ant Hampton i Tim Etchells, un treball per a dos espectadors que, al llarg de gaireb\u00e9 una hora, produeix una lectura guiada i compartida que torna al llibre la seva condici\u00f3 de fetitxe intel\u00b7lectual i que camufla la pr\u00e0ctica esc\u00e8nica en la rutina d’un espai p\u00fablic altament codificat: una biblioteca.<\/p>\nCom a primer dilema, l’ep\u00edgraf definitori per a una pe\u00e7a en terra de ning\u00fa per\u00f2 de tots. Si b\u00e9 els seus autors el defineixen com “auto-teatre” -en oposici\u00f3 a la incomoditat que els produeix l’al\u00b7lusi\u00f3 impl\u00edcita a aquesta audi\u00e8ncia amb escenari del “teatre participatiu”-, alg\u00fa poc instru\u00eft en teatre contemporani podria preguntar, hi ha teatre sense p\u00fablic?, existeix p\u00fablic sense actors?, existeixen actors que mai van buscar actuar? Sembla que s\u00ed, sobretot si intercanviem nocions. La de p\u00fablic per audi\u00e8ncia i la de teatre per m\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
Aquesta \u00faltima noci\u00f3 canviada ens remet a una filosofia, sin\u00f3 anacr\u00f2nica, massa cl\u00e0ssica per sentir propera; la primera ens col\u00b7loca de nou en una de les obsessions de l’art, tant en la cr\u00edtica institucional com en les pol\u00edtiques culturals. Per\u00f2 no repet\u00edssim l’autocomplaent imprud\u00e8ncia de passar per una de les moltes Escil\u00b7les i Caribdis de les pr\u00e0ctiques art\u00edstiques contempor\u00e0nies -la q\u00fcesti\u00f3 de l’audi\u00e8ncia- quan The Quiet Volume presta m\u00e9s atenci\u00f3 a una altra experi\u00e8ncia est\u00e8tica, si \u00e9s possible l’\u00fanica que encara entra en els arriscats par\u00e0metres de la universalitat: la lectura.<\/p>\n
The Quiet Volume funciona amb dues persones que arriben al lloc de (re)presentaci\u00f3 com a espectadors potencials i que es converteixen en lectors, en p\u00fablic, en actors, en audi\u00e8ncia i en escenografia. Tot alhora i gr\u00e0cies a un dispositiu (el llibre) que necessita d’un altre (un reproductor mp3) per llan\u00e7ar en menys d’una hora un gui\u00f3 que funciona com a manual d’instruccions i com meta-relat per a aquesta q\u00fcesti\u00f3 tan inabastable que \u00e9s la lectura. Encara que podria pensar-se The Quiet Volume com una m\u00e0quina del temps que ens torna a un lloc en qu\u00e8 les biblioteques i la lectura encara tenen ra\u00f3 de ser. I pensar, des de l\u2019imperatiu de distracci\u00f3 que inclouen els llibres i les sales de lectura, en l’angoixa de Jacques Austerlizt en con\u00e8ixer la transformaci\u00f3 de la Biblioteca Nacional de Fran\u00e7a en icona arquitect\u00f2nica d’una Par\u00eds postmoderna. O en aquell aprenentatge infantil que necessitava del dit \u00edndex per no extraviar-se en l’arquitectura del text.<\/p>\n
Podr\u00edem convertir tamb\u00e9 The Quiet Volume en un llibre, condu\u00eft per un narrador omniscient que, injectant una afectaci\u00f3 en l’estil literari que frega freq\u00fcentment el cursi, aconsegueix que els seus dos protagonistes accedeixin a llegir junts. \u00c9s llavors quan The Quiet Volume \u00e9s una par\u00e0bola sobre la condici\u00f3 humana. Sobre aquest saber estar junts respectant l’autonomia de l’altre per\u00f2 sense arribar a perdre\u2019l mai de vista. Tot i que la transfer\u00e8ncia nom\u00e9s funcioni perqu\u00e8 hi ha unes regles que ha fan possibiliten i que s’accepten sense objeccions. Regles que ja no existeixen a la sortida de la biblioteca, quan el teatre deixa de ser m\u00f3n i el m\u00f3n torna a ser aquell lloc en el qual un, per ser aut\u00f2nom, ha de perdre de vista tantes vegades a la persona que t\u00e9 al costat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
