Variations on a theme by Jean-Luc Godard

This project is inspired by images of the film “Pierrot le fou” (Jean-Luc Godard, 1965) in which he tells us his story of the “last romantic couple” … The eternal theme of man & woman: love – and how to live it – is analysed, constructed and deconstructed in this brilliant film by means of provoking dialogues, expressions of existential lifestyle, and by an extraordinary rhythm of cutting and self-reflections. The performance intends to integrate these different formal proposals of developing a geometry of love in form of a passage through 12 architectures of space, image and physical expression.
