From A Mirror in a Mirror is a performative installation, created by Atomic No6, presented on the 20th of April 2012 at Polichoros Politeia, Patras, Greece.
Someone could easily say that it is a play or an one act performance based on the first text of the book, Mirror in a Mirror (Michael Ende, Germany). But, the way we approached this text was not just that of creating a theatre play. In this "presentation" there is text, theatrical performance, speech, music, video and sound installation, the appearance of a physical actor on stage, the existence of another recorded actor from somewhere else, human and mechanical factors, and all these presented in a proscenium theatre -this time-.
The subject of this installation is the presentation of the creature that lives inside and outside or the realm of time or space, possibly inside of each and every one of us, now and forever.
We saw and we shall see Hor, and the world inside him and the word of the "someone" living in social isolation. The social isolation that derives as an expansion and extension of the isolation of the way of our lives, of the current society or the return to our inner ego.
A proposal in madness and a proposal of in-continuity. A frame of the creature with the endless abilities -the master of our brain- lost in the endless labyrinth . A scream of a confined sound living u=in the safety of our endless independent loneliness.

Statment: Apo ton Kathrefti Mesa ston Kathrefti/ From A Mirror in A Mirror
Το Απο τον Καθρέφτη μέσα στον Καθρέφτη, έιναι μια σκηνική σύνθεση της ομάδας Atomic No6, που θα πρωτοπαρουσιαστεί στον θεατρικό χώρο της Πολιτείας στην Πάτρα στις 20 Απρίλη.
Θα μπορούσαμε πιο απλά να πούμε ότι θα είναι μια θεατρική παράσταση ή ένας μονόλογος βασισμένος στο πρώτο κείμενο του βιβλίου Ο Καθρέφτης μέσα στον Καθρέφτη του γερμανού συγκραφέα Μίχαελ Έντε. Ο τρόπος όμως που αντιμετωπίζουμε, δραματοποιούμε, προσθέτουμε και πρόκειται να παρουσιάσουμε το κείμενο αυτό είναι πολύ κοντινός στον τρόπο που ένας καλλιτέχνης εργάζεται για τη δημιουργία μιας εγκατάστασης. Θα είναι λοιπόν μια σκηνική εγκατάσταση, σύνθεση πολλών εκφραστικών μέσων. Κείμενο, λόγος, μουσική, ηχητική και video εγκατάσταση, σκηνική παρουσιαση, μηχανικός και ανθρώπινος παράγοντας. Και όλο αυτό θα στεγάζεται σε μια σκηνή παραδοσιακού τύπου, σε ένα θέατρο προσκηνίου.
Το θέμα της σύνθεσης αυτής θα είναι η παρουσίαση ενός πλάσματος που ζει μέσα και έξω απο τον χρόνο, ίσως μέσα στον καθένα από εμάς, τώρα ή πάντα.
Θα δούμε λοιπόν τον Χορ, και τον εσωτερικό κόσμο αυτού, που βρίσκεται σε κοινωνική απομόνωση. Απομόνωση ειδωμένη ως επέκταση και προέκταση του κοινωνικού αποκλεισμου που προκαλέιται απο λόγους όπως ο απομονωτισμός του τρόπου ζωής της σύγχρονης κοινωνίας, η επιστροφή στο εγώ μας προερχόμενη από την συγκρουση με τα εγώ των γύρω. Μια πρόταση τρέλας και ασυνέχειας, μια πρόταση εσωτερικής εικονοποίησης του μικρού μας εαυτού που ζεί στο λαβύρινθο του εγκεφάλου. Μια εικόνα του χαμένου πλάσματος με τις απεριόριστες δυνατότητες, του κυρίαρχου του μυαλού μας, της έκφρασης ή έκφανσης του υποσυνειδήτου. Μια κραυγή ενός εγκλωβισμένου ήχου που ζεί στην ασφάλεια της ανεξαρτητοποιημένης μοναξιάς μας.
