A boy, a girl, in a black Audi surrounded by fog. They are brother and sister, they danced like bliss at friends’ houses, they forgot the misfortune that enveloped them, they are at peace, there, under this sky which is an hourglass, on this wasteland where the nightmare of a abuse will reconstitute itself. This is the start ofExtra Life, the new show by Gisèle Vienne, at the Antigel festival – at the Comédie de Genève, from February 21 to 24 – then in Lausanne, at the Théâtre de Vidy in June.
Visual artist, puppeteer, choreographer, Gisèle Vienne practices archeology in her own cinematic and lyrical way. It digs tunnels into the psyche and brings back vestiges which bleed and form fascinating pieces, like This Is How You Will Disappear, at La Bâtie in Geneva in 2015 or The Ventriloquists Convention, story of ventriloquists prey to the rebellion of the voices of which they believed themselves the masters. His art exhumes the charred areas of childhood, as in The Pond, according to Robert Walser, where Adèle Haenel was adolescence made body, broken body, ulcerated body, cursed body.
