Masterkey, a women's intercultural performance,
adapted from the thriller Oi Naru Genei, by Masako
Togawa. The work combined live performance, object animation,
and video projection in a mise-en-scene of wardrobes representing
the isolated rooms of the central characters. It was performed
in the 1998 Telstra Adelaide Festival and the 1998 Perth Festival.
Wardrobes with their shelves, desks with their draws and chests
with their false bottoms are veritable organs of secret psychological
life. Indeed without these objects and a few others in equally high
favour, our intimate life would lack a model of intimacy. These
are hybrid objects, subject objects. Like us, through us and for
us, they have a quality of intimacy.
Does there exist a single dreamer of words who does not respond
to the word wardrobe?
