Performance
2009
For the artist, travel is physical. The inevitability of relocation, to pursue personal goals or with the intention of being closer to important resources, lives in arms and legs, and is made real by muscle and blood. This performance is a partially improvised exploration of the most basic parts that make up movement and the relocation of the body from place to place. A piece of luggage, the handle held in a person’s hand on his / her way out the door, holds in it the necessary tools with which to both move and resettle, and can be perceived as an extension of the body. Luggage is storage space, a kind of dead space in which objects rest, protecting these objects from change in transit. The objects transported in a piece of luggage can be thought to remain the same until the person who is transporting them has arrived, changed, and in removing them changes his / her things forever. The play in which a traveler’s objects act stays the same; they speak the same lines; but the stage has changed, and every movement in the space is different and, for a while, perhaps uncanny.
Ben Bontempo received his Bachelor of Arts in Theater Performance from Simon’s Rock College in 2007. He has participated as a performer in the Berkshire Fringe Festival, the Southern Berkshire Concert Series, and the Castle Hill Theater Company. He feels most comfortable performing in full mask, without words, in a free space.
