AFTER WORDS
After Words concludes a trilogy relating to Gilles Deleuze’s Abécédaire, imagined as a concept and process. As a theatrical documentary bringing together pop philosophy, dance, music and video art. After Words gives furtherance to viewpoints and story lines. Two performers and one musician are asked to experiment on common ground. They wander about, confront each other, move from one situation to another, narrate and take on as many roles. Isabella Soupart questions several notions : notions of limit, territory and bestiality, drawing from the Fluxus group’s conceptual art.
After Words conclu une trilogie traversée par l’Abécédaire de Gilles Deleuze pensé tel un concept et un dispositif. Documentaire théâtral alliant pop philosophie, danse et art vidéo, After Words déplie encore plus avant les points de vue et les scénarios. Deux performeurs et un musicien sont invités à élaborer un terrain commun d’expériences, se meuvent, s’affrontent, glissent d’une situation à l’autre, racontent autant qu’ils incarnent. Isabella Soupart y interroge les notions de limite, de territoire, d’animalité en puisant notamment dans le champ de l’art conceptuel de Fluxus.
