Titus Andronicus /Iphigénie

This action was named after the tragedies Titus Andronicus and Iphigénie en Tauride, from which sound extracts are played as it takes place.

Joseph Beuys appears dressed in a fur coat and performs a series of actions: he imitates the flight of a bird, sounds two cymbals, makes guttural sounds, etc. ln associating his gestures with two theatre plays with completely different endings - the first bloody, the second happy- the artist returns to his preferred themes: a transition from chaos to order and from sacrifice to rebirth and the acceptance of a positive but lost animality.
