In Affordable Solution for Better Living, Silver Lion at the 2019 Venice Dance Biennale, Théo Mercier and Steven Michel turned an Ikea bookshelf into a delusive tool for well-being, imposing arbitrary and globalized rules on humanity. As they continue to ponder our contemporary identities, the two artists now explore representations of the feminine around a stunning quartet. Coming from the field of contemporary dance and performance art, the four performers are the subjects and objects of a saga that feels like both experimental film and choreographic piece.

Over excerpts from the utopian novel by Monique Wittig Les Guérillères, the women dancers’ bodies embody the poetic and political struggles of the longstanding sexual liberation war championed by the militant writer. Incessantly juxtaposing historical reconstructions, fictitious profiles and sci-fi, the show addresses gender and biopower issues as well as those related to fantasy-based projections.

This fourth piece by Théo Mercier aided and supported by Nanterre-Amandiers (and the second collaboration with Steven Michel), BIG SISTERS is a deliberately exhilarating and festive work. Celebrating the vital energy in ourselves, it encourages us to acknowledge our own powers so we can wield them better.
