2023 | EDHEA | ACT Bern

The audience enters a dark room. The curtains are closed. The performer enters the setting, wearing a black dress. The performer has the hands on the face. The performer sings. The performer removes the hands from the face, but the face is now turned to the floor. The audience don’t see the performer’s face. The performer sings in English. The performer raises the head and we now see the performer’s face. The performer now sings for us, looking at us. « Heard you wanna make a difference. So you’re part of the resistance » The performer invites the audience with the gaze to sing along. The audience sings with the performer until the performer ends the performance.
