Bells and Spells

Details

There is plenty of humour and a spark of absurdity in Victoria Thierrée Chaplin’s world. In her new show, Aurélia Thierrée gets inside the skin of a kleptomaniac.

She finds herself manipulated by the objects she steals, under their influence.

These objects belong to a world which has a mind of its own. A coat rack gets up and walks. Chairs and a table slide and slip away, while a wall opens and a pair of dancers emerge. A dress suddenly takes on a life of its own. Here is where the bizarre rubs shoulders with the supernatural: mirages to make you smile and dream. There is no place for logic, reason, or sobriety as we are taken on a journey through hallucinatory lands, libertarian countries and surreal humour.
