The project Autonomous Scenography is based on the fascination of visual artist Meryem Bayram for pop-up books. She developed a series of forms made of sheet cardboard which can be unfolded from an apparently empty flat surface to a whole repertory of evocative scenic elements.

 

Different artists were invited to use their imagination on the material. In this way, the project demonstrates what happens when the scenography does not rely on a story or choreography, but the other way around. How can the performer, the sound artist or light artist contaminate these various scenic elements? In a silent but highly expressive game of forms , spaces, objects and worlds are set up, which reveal to what extent our perception of reality is determined by personal associations and memories.

2. BETRAYAL/Harold Pinter - Mesut Arslan 
Mesut Arslan directs  Betrayal, Pinters classical play about a triangular relationship that contradicts time and starts with the end of the adultery . People are not only betrayed by other people but by time and it is this aspect that Arslan wants to develop. Starting point is the installation of visual artist Lawrence Malstaf ' NEVEL' . In this work space is constantly recreated as it reflects the  game of time and memory.
