Anatomical Theatre explored the principle of «body in space» as well as the qualities of this particular historical architecture with all of its physical extremities on view. Anatomical Theatre served as a platform for the exploration of the mind and body through a program of lectures, discussions and conversations, a video/film, and performance program as well as execution of different practices in physical and mental training. The events took place inside the theatre, and the sculptural structure thus became a dialogue-theatre with historical reference.
