In the three productions he created since his graduation at P.A.R.T.S, \nRobin Jonsson stages artificial bodies from computergames, manga comics,\n animation films and puppetry. These avatars are characterized by a very\n specific body language, dictated by the specifics of the medium itself.\n Just like puppets imply a puppeteer, and game heroes are characterized \nby some kind of invulnerability, each of these media rephrase the \nvocabulary in which we imagine ourselves. When these virtual movements \nare translated by physical bodies on stage, they generate an intriguing \nconfrontation between artificiality and authenticity, virtuality and \nmateriality, imagination and factuality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During his trajectory with wpZimmer, Robin Jonsson created the diptych The Hollows<\/em>.\n In these performances the subtle balance between man and monster is \nbeing disturbed by researching the cult figure of the zombie. The Hollows I: Walk with Me<\/em>\n takes the audience for a walk through a site specific environment, \nquestioning the retorics and artifices of the classical zombie culture. \nWith The Hollows II<\/em>, Robin Jonsson made a choreographical deconstruction of the zombie figure in a hands-on performative workshop.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3259,"template":"","class_list":["post-1383","artists","type-artists","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
