Same Same
Temporary Collective & Dame de Pic/Cie Karine Ponties
- Dance
Hilarious and wacky, "Same Same" is an electric face-off that explores the absurdity of our behaviour and its unlikely consequences.
Behind the codes of a stereotypical society, two high-heeled working girls pit themselves against each other, envious of each other, competing with each other and getting in each other’s way until they lose touch with reality and “any sense of reason”. It is precisely this lack of reasonableness that Karine Ponties questions, with dark humour, this in-between space where common sense is absent and unknown paths are explored, however absurd they may be. This energetic and exuberant choreography combines sharp criticism, subversive irony and animality. A performance with a life-saving barbarity.
