Laureen Drexler & Giorgia Scisciola - PIERRE

Huggy Bears Days *** Dance, performance *** World premiere *** no spoken words *** Duration: 55 minutes

Chaos prevails over clarity: Taking the firmness and malleability of marble as a metaphorical inspiration, Laureen Drexler and Giorgia Scisciola analyse the subject of oppression in PIERRE – discovering an identity beyond definition.

Control meets intuition, precision dissolves in instinct and fragility becomes a type of strength. PIERRE resembles a journey through a range of different emotions colliding in existential unrelatedness. Laureen Drexler and Giorgia Scisciola allow insights into the chaos of human existence; a place where feelings boil up and context is lost. Based on the motif of marble – firm and under pressure, yet adaptable –, the performers explore the beauty of incoherence. Their performance is a confrontation with the collapse of clarity, direction and solid ground. It tells the story of numbness, separation and contradictions that slip beyond one’s grasp. Finally, between the poles of control and devotion, transformation takes place. PIERRE examines, on a metaphorical level, who we are when we stop allowing ourselves to be defined all the time.
