playhouse, 2011-2012
Feature film writen and directed by david gil
under development
Playhouse is a feature film in which multidisciplinary artist david gil scripted fragments of the real life of American performing artist TaraShae aAnanda (Jane Doughtery) in order to recreate what French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan referred to as foreclosure.
Inspired from the legal term in which a borrower obtains a termination of a lender’s equitable right of redemption, Lacan defines foreclosure as a mechanism of psychosis in which “the ego rejects an incompatible idea or concept and behaves as if the idea or concept had never occurred at all”. Sooner or later when the foreclosed element reappears in real life, the subject is unable to assimilate it, thus entering a state of psychosis characterized by a loss of contact with reality.
Just like other five and a half million American home owners, Jane Doughtery’s property foreclosed. Artificially maintaining her social role, Jane embodies American collapsing dream, which according to contemporary
history, has become a mirror of Lacan’s Language.
