Sans Titre (2014)

In this three-phase solo, Xavier Le Roy examines the conditions of  aesthetic reception and theatrical protocols. Three default approaches  (a lecture, a show, a concert) allow him to out-manoeuvre public  expectations by operating formal and dramaturgical subtractions which  incite the audience to break through the fourth wall and, by doing so,  to reconsider the border lines between the public and the stage, reality  and fiction, or subjects and objects. Whether it is a matter of memory  loss or a lack of visibility, the resulting deficiencies thus initiate  situations removing us from a static, passive condition to reach a state  of mourning or melancholy, before the disappearance of this theatrical  condition. As an answer to this amnesia, a dialogue with the  choreographer becomes affirmed as the sole possibility for filling in an  absence and transcending the impression of an insurmountable  dysfunction. A new liberty over which only the public is in charge.
