Performance realised with Stéphane Granger,
at Academie Fratellini des Arts du Cirque, Saint-Denis, Fr
L'institut de beauté from donald abad on Vimeo.
A spectator is invited by the hostess to sit in the beauty parlour and to be praised under the gaze of the public.
Two antic-punks - the perfromers - are already on stage. They are the decadent actors of the concert, singing the Ovide Metomorphosis adapted lyrics, but also the preachers of a new divinity (the spectator).
The public attends both sides of a spectacle that balances between beauty and ugliness, ancient and modern, precious and decadent, punk and hairdresser, antic and the circus-like gigs. Eventually, it’s in the public to decide whether or not to spare the life of the participant.
Performance total duration : 2h
