They reverse roles, turn the existing order upside down, disobey instructions. They are anarchic and wonderful. They are uproarious and mysterious. They are wild and exquisite. They are all Louise. In a peculiar laboratory, absurd things unfold. Experiments of all kinds are conducted with human matter. Four artists (Bérengère Bodin, Methinee Wongtrakoon, Rosalba Torres Guerrero, and Marianna de Sanctis) take turns playing leader, office boss, guinea pig, and patient in a place where tyranny reigns. In their role-play, body, mind, and soul rebel and resist. Thanks to their incredible strength, their raging anger, their quirky humor, their glitzy glamour, and their joie de vivre, they slap tyranny in the face. With creativity and passion, they brave the unfathomable and bright new prospects are revealed.
Martin Zimmermann’s new work LOUISE is about resistance and the urge to move freely. For 25 years, the multiple award-winning Zurich-based Swiss choreographer has been creating theater with no words using a mix of contemporary circus, dance, and stage installation.
In cooperation with Fabriktheater Rote Fabrik Zürich
