performance, prima italiana
In Monique Alix Eynaudi e Mark Lorimer fondono, sovvertendone i valori, svariate tecniche e immaginari legati al corpo: ginnastica, danza contemporanea e moderna, giochi sessuali, terapie del movimento. "SM meets action art meets contact improvisation meets les ballets russes". Monique combina e scombina rituali che coinvolgono corpi, oggetti e costumi, aprendo molteplici possibilità di transizione e passaggi da un punto all'altro. L'estetica di Monique non si arresta al clichè, ma scopre il potenziale dell'altra faccia. In una sospensione storica, le luci, il dècor e la musica calpestano impunemente le idee di buon gusto alla ricerca di una liberazione del teatro. In Monique è chiaro che le cose in scena hanno un corpo, e tra questi corpi, così come nell'aria, corre una costante energia elettrica: c'è qualcosa di animistico.

performance, italian première
In Monique Alix Eynaudi and Mark Lorimer merge, subverting values, various techniques and imagery related to the body: gymnastics, contemporary and modern dance sexual games, and movement therapy. "SM meets action art meets contact improvisation meets les ballets russes". Monique puts together and takes apart rituals involving bodies, objects and costumes, opening up many possibilities of transition and passage from one point to another. The aesthetics of Monique do not stop at the cliché, but go on to discover the potential of the other side. In a historic suspension, lights, décor and music trample with impunity the ideas of good taste, in the quest for a liberation of theatre. In Monique it is clear that things on stage have a body, and between these bodies, as well as in the air, there is a constant electricity: there is something animistic.
