Faye Driscoll
New York choreographer Faye Driscoll immerses us in a perceptive and participatory experience between performance and installation. In this solo piece, she uses body and voice as she wanders through the audience around her, among microphones and wires hanging from the ceiling. In a ritual that is both intimate and very physical, during which she pulls ropes and pulleys and lifts bricks and weights, the choreographer urges us to collectively express the anguish of death and grief.
