“oh dear, how do we deal with vanished sparks?” is a solo piece that questions the image and the body in motion—past, present, future—the vulnerability of our pursuits, and the back-and-forth between what is hidden and what is visible.
Video, as a vehicle for both fictional and real narratives, intertwines on stage with elements of the performance: choreography, objects, light, sound, and text. The piece is fragmented and anachronistic, bringing together multiple voices and discourses that range from comic and cartoonish to political and dramatic.
Victor Delétraz [Associate Artist at L’Abri–Geneva, season 24–25] is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice blends installation, writing, music, video, painting, and performance-making.
The piece is presented as part of the festival C’est déjà demain: four venues joining forces to support and offer a platform to very emerging creation. These are beginnings of beginnings. At Théâtre du Loup, five theatre sketches; at L’Abri, two proposals by resident artists; at Maison Saint-Gervais, the continuation of a first encounter; and at Les Scènes du Grütli, a roaming performance. These are explorations, attempts—what is taking shape in people’s minds. It resonates from one place to another and ends in a celebration. You can see it all—come along!
