4 FLOORS OF WHORES & Anders Carlsson (SE)
A playful, filthy and fleshy investigation of the borderlands of spontaneity: regression, destruction, perversion, seduction, abjection, orgasmic ecstasy and hubris.
Enfant Terrible is a contemporary association from the play “Victor, or when the children take power” (1928) by the French surrealist playwright Roger Vitrac. On their ninth birthday, the child V decides to reveal all the family’s hidden secrets. Armed with a child’s honesty, naivety, innocence, monstrosity, zeal and parasitism, V attacks everything they cannot understand or accept: they are an Enfant Terrible!
The performance tests the hypothesis that spontaneity, our lusts and desires, is a kind of pharmakon – an unpredictable effect that can mutate into its opposite depending on dosage or context, something that can be both a poison and an antidote depending on the circumstances
