Dr Jeckyl and Sister Hyde

Lloyd, Wayne

Abstract

By converting the filmic narrative into a verbal one, these performances narrow the ‘aesthetic’ distance between a cultural resource, such as a feature film, and how it contributes to a work of art which uses the resource as a reference. The audience absorb this filmic narrative not through the contextual illusions of the films themselves but through the immediacy of the performance.

This process draws aside the aesthetic veneer, revealing the social mechanism beneath, allowing the audience to take meaning and pleasure from the text.
