Rephaite

A hybrid between a theater piece and an audiovisual show; a spirit-summoning ritual set in a nursery, revealing the unseen through light and music. The work originates from the article “Ghosts In The Nursery” by Selma Fraiberg, in which Fraiberg imagines post-traumatic experiences as ghosts: entities that pass on from generation to generation, from a parent’s body to a child’s body, at night, via the first lullabies. In “Rephaite”, we celebrate the presence of ghosts in our lives. Imagination and fantasy are compressed onto the stage in order to bring together the psychological and the supernatural, and to merge seriousness with playfulness and theatricality. The texts and music featured in the performance resulted from a research on lullabies and exorcism rituals in different cultures, alongside writing and drawing exercises with students from the School of Visual Theatre and DAMU University in Prague.
