I WOULDN’T BE SEEN
DEAD IN THAT !
Designed by a pair of visual artists who are also performers, dancers and choreographers, this work explores the notion of hunting in all its manifold forms and expressions. Empathizing with the suffering victims, it investigates various ambivalences: male-female, hunter-hunted, cruel-gentle, dead-alive… Its unflinching confrontation with death lends this bizarre choreographic vision a clear political and esthetic strength.
