Two individuals sit opposite each other in the center of a square, creating an almost perfect symmetry. Both look very much alike: long hair, black vests, bare legs and high heels. On one’s lap rests a laptop computer. In the other’s lap, a loudspeaker. Both are in motion, always or almost always in control. They modify the space, moving away from each other, only to squeeze together again.
How do our memories influence the way we move? Can solitude be experienced by two people?
The show noyé/e/ is presented in partnership with La Chapelle du Cap.
