In a game of hot potato, who will drop it, and who will keep it going? Whether between friends or coworkers, with family or in couples, any parlour game can go awry, especially since everyone think they can make up the rules. The closer our bonds, the higher the price we pay for arguing with our fellow players. In an era of polarizing current affairs, hot topics come up over pillow-talk and around the water cooler that arise from dualities that can be ripped apart, or that can rip us apart: left or right, north or south, migrants or non, French or English, and the list goes on. Which side are you on? All bets are off, and all mics are on.
For two nights over two seasons, two different encounters could conjure comedy or cringing. In this series of conversations taking place throughout 2019, the fourth wall comes down on comic, acerbic, improvisational, and polemical themes that make headlines and power café conversations.
This project benefited from a creative residency at Usine C.
