Once upon a time, real actors of flesh and blood would perform in theaters, on real stages and in front of live audiences... But maybe this is just a legend.
Jack William Radish, a theater director with massive panic attacks and a precarious economic situation, is contacted by the National Art Theater of a big city offering him the chance to stage a huge show with an international cast. He doesn't have a clue about casting internationally, especially as his panic attacks prevent him from travelling. By chance, he fortunately learns of a new form of technology that allows him to travel around the world without ever having to leave home. Now, the search for his cast can begin.
Written and directed by Giacomo Ravicchio - Music and sound design by Jerome Baur
Supported and subsidized by: Danish Arts Foundation, Augustinus Fonden (DK), Fondation Leenaards (CH).
Knock Knock the casting is an international web series of 8 episodes due to be launched on SoMe medias from April to June 2021 and, eventually, also on this website in a short movie version.
It was recorded with all kinds of video devices, in many different parts of the world and with actors and artists from different disciplines, who collaborated remotely in this international experiment.
The project was created as an alternative to 'live' theater performances. While a health crisis has paralyzed theater scenes around the world, the project has given artists from around the world the opportunity to continue to create, collaborate and develop new ways of presenting art to its audience.
