Showroomdummies#4

The event is over
Astonishment sometimes borders on distress when we see hyper-realistic but inanimate figures in shop windows. Dummies are stilted and disjointed objects, like life-sized puppets: their poses and movements are dictated by invisible hands or strings.
he show entitled Showroomdummies is organised around this fascination for passive bodies and their unsettling lexicon of poses. On stage, disturbingly motionless bodies play with this ambiguity: are we looking at dancers or dolls?
In this new version of the show created in 2020, choreographer Gisèle Vienne and visual artist Étienne Bideau-Rey create a hybrid performance in a blend of eroticism and repulsion. Together, they question how we relate to the living world and its representation, while establishing a parallel between the world of puppets and that of contemporary dance.
