Abstract
The triangle is no Gestalt. The real structures are intersubjective. They cannot be localized anywhere; the triangle has no reality anywhere; it is a systematic metaphor, systematically pursued.– René Girard
The Ballad of Isosceles is a performance installation for two people at a time, which is then witnessed by a larger ‘shadow’ audience who sit and watch from the sidelines. The piece is concerned with the voyeurism and the weird wonders of vicarious pleasure. It was created as part of a residency at Contact Theatre (Manchester) for its 2015 Sensored Festival of Performance. It has gone on to be developed through performances at the University of Salford's Digital Performance Lab and Catalyst Arts's FIX15 Biennale of Live Performance (Belfast).
