"Contrary to what mainstream science might argue, imagination is a major component of scientific rationality” rosi braidotti
For the first time OHT's new production confronts a classic of Western literature; Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus. Moving around the time of the experiment, OHT makes partial and vertical lunges into the text, without limits of form, language and duration. The novel becomes material to be examined, dissected, re-stitched, a body available for different experiments: a performance, a reading session, an installation, a radio-drama are generated as parts of the same experimentation that proceeds horizontally through the Shelley’s story to investigate its multiple ramifications. The fragments borrow the obscenity of the demon and become a deformed amalgamation of raw material abandoned early; experiments that, showing their inadequacy, trigger the same short-circuit at the origin of Frankenstein's creature, inviting us to adopt unknown criteria to come to terms with what is usually omitted from view and considerated monstrous.
