The show contains strobe lights.
“Simulacrum” is an exercise in intimacy, repetition and resistance.
On stage, two bodies in continuous action explore the limits of their proximity, the accentuation of exhaustion and the degenerative nature of the gesture. A diffuse space is created between the real and the staged,
between the public and the private, enhancing states of vulnerability, expectation and tension.
“Simulacro” starts from a set of actions and gestures present in the daily lives of the two interpreters, crossed by fragments of shared memories, in a slow exercise of the transformation of bodies and their drives.
An immersive and conflicting object.
