Captive
recorded at the CND 6 February 2015
Captive is a cloistered performance that takes place in the lair of a monster, Shamaël, a demon who has swallowed up the world. Out of boredom, he brings one of his victims, a woman, back to life: Lilith, his prey. Between the two of them is Kiki, a bicycle, the alter ego of Lilith. Shamaël reigns supreme in a world of agony and destruction. Brought back to life, Lilith and Kiki began to haunt his dreams.
“When faced with horror, we search for insolence, the carefree nature of life and movement. These two characters, who seem completely contradictory, become alive through each other. When do vice and corruption begin to settle in – and what about play, tenderness, and a need for the other? It is a space for games and caprice. At its heart are Shamaël and Lilith, two opposing conditions. How do the mortal and the immortal rub shoulders with one another? Can we grasp this relationship, feel it, give it a body?”
