is presenting his new project “The Monsters” at Swiss doc festival Visions du Réel’s Industry event, VdR-Pitching., “is about one of the first characters that we play in our lives which is gender, as a performative fiction with our bodies. From the moment we are born we have two scripts already written for us: either you are a man or a woman. This is about people who chose not to play this binary role.
“In my work, I see the world as a big mise-en-scène – like a theater play. So I invite real people to become characters and reflect about this shift from being someone to playing a character.” The film, Abramovich explains, will comprise three levels: the stage, where the characters will create their project together through exercises, dance, performance and re-enactments, a backstage level that will feature more intimate one-to-one moments, and a third level, which he calls “the debate,” where cast and crew will have a space to discuss issues of representation, the meaning of the project and possible tensions arising from the process.
“This is, for me, an opportunity to collectively rethink the institution of family. The idea is to challenge the norms: it’s a film about people who chose a different path. Trans bodies, dissident bodies, bodies that society itself has pathologized, rejected, marginalized, or that have suffered physical and psychological abuse.
