RADICAL K-O

On stage, a boxing ring. Using the world of this combat sport, with its various codes, as a prank? That is Jocelyn Pelletier’s initial concept for his new production, Radical K-O, in which the audience is immersed in a phantasmagorical space that reveals and questions a call to violence and extremes. Live action, video, music, performance, and dance unfold and interact to create a continuum of living tableaux, each more intense than the last. Through a powerful performative language, Radical K-O embodies an aesthetic of the extreme, coupled with an uncompromising stance. By using the codes of boxing and subverting them to create meaningful dramatic drivers, Jocelyn Pelletier presents a visceral and uncompromising work from which no one will emerge unscathed.
