Scène de Ménage

A duet mixing all on edge dance and object handlings

Motionless - All audiences – 2011 - Duration : 35 min

Emerging from nowhere, a couple armed with household ustensils is caught into a frenzy by the sight of a dirty mark on the path.This symbolic intruder will focus their energy and bring the characters together as they try to erase it. But both people will try to impose their own way of seeing things.

Playing on the irrational and the absurd, this act of cleaning in a public space is an opportunity to ridicule our relationship with materials and social order. Breaking through the borders between what is private or public, the couple will argue over something with no real meaning.

As a satirical and burlesque vision of a domestic quarrel, this duet performance mixes dance and object theatre for public spaces with the right dose of humour.
