A Taste of Poison
Five experts set their minds on testing contemporary modes of behavior. They submit themselves to experiments, adopting with strict scientific rigor a succession of given situations which seemingly release nerves: word to deed, power games, shameless profits, perverse conducts, addictions, abuses, impulses freed from their moral barriers that quickly transform into sad passions.
Nine tests pace the show. But little by little a more political point of view emerges from these private dissonances: isn't everything linked, from the drifts of the intimate to the destiny of societies?
Following their previous performance Histoire de l’imposture, Nicole Mossoux and Patrick Bonté continue a phantasmic reading of the contemporary world, using movement, voice and presence as keys of interpretation.
