FAIX
SUZANNE
Performance on the ground floor of the Manufacture des Œillets
Commentary in sports occupies a central place in competitions. It serves as a vector of rhythm, atmosphere, and emotion. Created as part of the cross-programming with MAC VAL, FAIX is a reading-performance of transcriptions of sports commentary interpreted by SUZANNE.
These narratives, read slowly and disembodied by the four performers (Lorenz Jack Chaillat-Cavaillé, Julien Chaudet, Julien Deransy, and Eurydice Gougeon-Marine), become for a moment a sacred liturgy that questions our relationship to effort and performance; and inscribes this reading-performance in the essential desire to transform discourse into poetry.
