Dummys can be used to simulate situations that only occur in life as emergencies or exceptions. They can be used to practice skills or test their effectiveness. From the crash-test dummy as a measuring body for industry to the resuscitation dummy as a training device, a specific use is formulated for each dummy.
In the course of the imposed exit restrictions and contact ban during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, we documented a performance with dummies. Dummys were used because the gathering of a group of people (audience) could not take place under the given conditions. In our performance research with dummys, we compare different uses of dummies and put them in a certain order: simulation, performance and evaluation. The aim of this artistic research is to put up for discussion an expanded concept of performance and theatre.
