Ça a l'air synthétique Bonjour at La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines

La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines will co-present with LA SERRE - arts vivants Ça a l'air synthétique Bonjour-Hi scheduled for JANUARY 25, 26 and 29, 2021, the latest creative proposition by the ''collective'' formed by Burcu Emeç, Michael Martini, Nien Tzu Weng and Roxa Hy. The four artists come from different practices and backgrounds in theatre, dance and digital arts among others, but share a common fondness for transdisciplinary performance. Through their collective projects, they blur linguistic and cultural boundaries. They thus invite you all to a meeting that is both artistic and social, where the audience is literally called upon to take part. With a touch of humour, somewhere between everyday life and poetry, Ça a l'air synthétique Bonjour-Hi offers a reflection on invisible work and the concept of participation. The show's premiere is planned for Monday, JANUARY 25, 2021 at 7 P.M.

A tree, a dryer, a pile of mismatched socks: still and breathing bodies, as well as banal objects suggesting tasks to be accomplished greet the public. Objects are brought to life when recorded anecdotes of experiences within participatory art are amplified from within them in order to shed light on invisible labour and the limits of consent in performance. In a relaxed environment, the public is invited to accomplish daily tasks to be paid in return. Through these banal but essential gestures, a dynamic of exchange and collaboration is established between active and passive participants, spectators and performers.

Ça a l'air synthétique Bonjour Hi reveals challenges of art-making, drawing a poetic and sincere parallel with the actual context of economic insecurity.
