THE MAIDS (DECONSTRUCTED) - DOCUMENTARY

The Maids (Deconstructed) is a documentary chronicling Scott Felluss’s work on Jean Genet’s The Maids, a project that served as a precursor to his exploration of intercultural aesthetics and Practice as Research (PaR). This film offers an in-depth look at the creative process, capturing the dismantling and reimagining of Genet’s play through a contemporary lens.

The documentary delves into the rehearsal process, behind-the-scenes moments, and critical reflections that shaped the production, focusing on the themes of power, identity, and surveillance that echo throughout Felluss’s later work. It provides valuable insights into his early engagement with theatrical deconstruction, intercultural performance, and the foundational ideas that would later influence his research into digital ethnography.

The Maids (Deconstructed) serves as both a standalone documentary and an integral part of Felluss’s broader body of work, connecting the performative and reflexive elements of The Maids to the methodologies and themes explored in subsequent projects like Position and Shared Horizons. This documentary offers viewers a glimpse into the experimental framework that informs Felluss’s evolving artistic and academic inquiry.
