Rouge turns the body into a vehicle for poetic emergence through an exploration of chaos. An excessive monochrome tableau in perpetual transformation, the piece takes shape through a delirious accumulation of objects and actions, creating a constantly shifting visual and sonic landscape. On stage, the piling up of everything bearing the color of blood, shame, emotion, sensuality, and revolution becomes delirium, exhaustion, greed, and relentless crises, generating a proliferation of artefacts, traces, food, trinkets, light sources, and sounds punctuated by the artist’s actions and sudden outbursts of questioning. Blood, of course, but also prayers, suffocations, screams, songs, madness, and ever-expanding, constantly reinvented extensions of a world seen through the sign of red. For the spectator, this is neither simple entertainment nor merely a stylistic exercise, but rather a variation unfolding across one’s own inner screen—where fears, fantasies, and desires are projected.

As part of the first edition of the ARTDANTHÉ festival in Montreal, a collaboration between La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines and the ARTDANTHÉ festival in Vanves (France)
