»DERNIERS FEUX«
Scaffolding, large fans, loudspeakers, long wooden slats, large cardboard boxes, giant letters, a projector on wheels, two clothes racks with colourful garments, and eleven performers who move these objects and assemble and dismantle ephemeral backdrops, grab a megaphone to shout their instructions, move the lighting, watch the others at work, set the tempo with drums, play the trumpet or guitar or sing, always dancing, in a ceaseless, endless movement. Like a work in progress, with
all its risks and vitality, a community at work – without
hierarchy between choreography, technology and music, between art and craft. In an explosive moment, a lively dialogue emerges in the search for joy that triggers fireworks, between trepidation and pleasure and the anticipation of the explosion.
Content advisory: This performance contains strobe effects (rapidly flashing lights) and loud music.
