Artist talk following 'Impro Embassy: Click'

Inbal Lori and Tim Orr take their inspiration from photographs provided by the audience. Each scene will start with a new photograph, and the scenes are most likely unrelated. How do the artists use photographs to develop their characters and situations. The audience is invited to find it out in the artist talk following the show. Don`t forget to bring your photos.

About the Venue:

Ratibor Theater

For nearly 40 years, there is the small backyard theatre in Kreuzberg. The roots of the Ratibor Theatre go back to 70's. The history of the Theatre and the people behind it, somehow is representative for the history of the City of Berlin itself: from the highly politicized 1970's, the apocalyptic Kreuzberg of the 1980's, the end of the Berlin Wall to the post reunification era and the reality of a vibrating urban metropolis, that is still defining itself - all of that can be found in the history of The Ratibor Theatre.Since 1997 the Berlin improv group „Die Gorillas“ perform their weekly shows at Ratibor Theater. After almost twenty yearsthis symbiosis evolved a story of success, that formed the Ratibor into an international institution for impro and "Die Gorillas"to one of the best Impro-Groups worldwide. Additionally the annual festival for international impro theater IMPRO is takingplace here, too. 

About the play:

Impor Embassy: Click

Inbal Lori (Tel Aviv) and Tim Orr (San Francisco) combine to present click. In this format, the improvisers take their inspiration from photographs provided by the audience, rather than verbal suggestions. Each scene will start with a new photograph, and the scenes are most likely unrelated. The evocative, non-literal nature of photographs allows the actors to discover their way into characters and situations through the feeling that the images inspire.
