ROBERT WILSON

Genealogical position: corporeal mime and physical theatre.

Conceptual connection supplied for this timeline:

Wilson → architecture of the sensible.

The reference concerns the organisation of perception through spatial, visual and temporal composition.

Mentioned in the Bosch/Punchdrunk entry: the visual preparation Castellucci or Wilson would offer ahead of this kind of task, absent for Clarisse when re-enacting Bosch's Crucifixion of Saint Julia — hence the possible humiliation effect when only the performer's body, without prior visual dramaturgy, has to absorb the task.
