OHT - Office for a Human Theatre, Frankenstein – If You Love Solitude, You Don’t Love Freedom, 2024

OHT closes the project on Frankenstein with a publication that brings together Filippo Andreatta’s research and travels as he retraces the creature’s favorite places and locations. A book that presents itself as a monstrous object: grafted between the pages of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley appear the stage forms and materials produced by OHT’s encounter with the novel. They are flaps, fragments, scraps of works whose life takes place elsewhere and which here interact with Shelley’s text, making it explode. A set of overlaps and assemblages that form a different perspective on our present. The volume republishes Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s 1831 edition of the novel by grafting over her words the materials produced through OHT’s artistic research. A creature holding together a series of journeys in search of the monster, a play, a reading session, an EP, a film adaptation, an installation and an aborted radio drama.
