Performance brief: 
THE REAL THING researches the boundaries between fiction and reality by superimposing one on the other.THE REAL THING takes place in two highly codified places: the theatre and the library. Both as places of representation are carried to extremes and the fictional character of the real situation - architecture, politics of the gaze, codes of behaviour - are revealed. The rules, assumptions and un-discussed agreements - the framing becomes experiential /sensual.What is the tension between a fictional, highly constructed place/experience/ narrative/character and the 'real'?"THE REAL THING" establishes a look at "theatre" and "library" as remarkable cultural inventions, "social sculptures" and strange places. They become installations - pieces of art.
