Written and directed by Ant Hampton<\/span> Presentation in Riga supported by the British Council Latvia, State Culture Capital Foundation, Riga Latvian Society and the Creative Europe Program of the European Commission via Imagine 2020: art, ecology and possible futures network<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI think of theaters as very transparently psychological spaces \u2013 buildings which spring into existence as a direct result of how our minds work.\u201d Ant Hampton<\/span><\/p>\n Equipped with a flashlight, a neon vest, and a pair of headphones, you enter an empty theater as an extra, navigating a bespoke path through the cracked dreams of today’s growing number of short-term, disposable workers. Your role shifts and switches as you set off on an adventure in the dark.<\/span> “The Extra People is a brave and intricate experience, and one that is completely unique.\u00a0I think none\u00a0present for these two evenings will\u00a0soon forget it.\u201d Sherri Kronfeld for New York Theatre Review<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Ant Hampton (b. 1975, UK) is best known for his nine Autoteatro works, which deliver instructions to audience members to enact the performances for each other. These works include Rotozaza\u2019s Etiquette (2007), and The Quiet Volume, his Bessie award-winning collaboration with Tim Etchells for library reading rooms, which was presented by PS122 in New York in 2013; The Extra People is the largest-scale Autoteatro work to date. Hampton\u2019s other solo projects include ongoing experimentation around live portraiture and structured encounters with people from non-theatrical milieu. He was also head dramaturg for Projected Scenarios at Manifesta 7 Biennial for Contemporary Art, and has contributed to projects by J\u00e9r\u00f4me Bel and Forced Entertainment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n anthampton.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Unique British theatre voice Ant Hampton visits Riga with The Extra People on September 13 and 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6223,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[104],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archived"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theatre.kondrats.dev\/lv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6222","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theatre.kondrats.dev\/lv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theatre.kondrats.dev\/lv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatre.kondrats.dev\/lv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatre.kondrats.dev\/lv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6222"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/theatre.kondrats.dev\/lv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6222\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatre.kondrats.dev\/lv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theatre.kondrats.dev\/lv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatre.kondrats.dev\/lv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theatre.kondrats.dev\/lv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

A continuation of British artist Ant Hampton\u2019s\u00a0Autoteatro\u00a0<\/i>series\u2014in which audiences are both spectator and performer, following cues delivered straight to their ears\u2014The\u00a0<\/em>Extra People<\/i>\u00a0challenges the assumption that theater is a space for community. Individually streamed recordings and tricks of perception isolate you from the rest of the audience and bring to this automatic process a hallucinatory edge.<\/span><\/p>\n
