Choreographic Research Sharing in 3 Du Trois (Trois C-L, Luxemburg)

 In this research solo, stunt performance, crash test dummies, and the genre of
stand-up comedy is invited in a mismatched conversation, attempting to create a work about
the absence of stable ground and horizon, about a permanent rehearsal of crashing
that cannot be fulfilled, about bodies crushed by the supersonic speeds of a culture
running downhill.
Crash test dummies are set at breakneck speed and crash into the wall, stuntmen
self-combust to make fictions as convincing as possible while -in the free-fall feeds
on our screens, in our endless doom scrolling – bodies crash under train and car steel, bodies set themselves on fire painfully disappearing themselves in order to be
heard.
Spectacle as the most durable fetish.
