Cavaliers impurs

Following Consul and Meshie, an unclassifiable performative object that played with the audience’s gaze, Latifa Laâbissi and Antonia Baehr have conceived this second duet as a series of heterogeneous sequences, woven together by the thread of impurity,  hybridization and collage. In Cavaliers impurs, two bodies of different shapes and sizes put images and references through the mill of  their physical and vocal intensity. Laâbissi and Baehr blend their respective vocabularies – the expressiveness of the face, the cross-dressing of genders and registers – and interweave their worlds in numbers that dynamize choreographic codes and blur the lines. House of  fiction, design object, ephemeral architecture, the giant cardboard box designed by scenographer Nadia Lauro serves simultaneously as a shelter, a kit accessory, a platform or a podium on which to assemble and  disassemble figures that are in turn vulnerable or combative, bearing witness to a culture in pieces.
