Boundary Games

2018

Boundary Games by Léa Drouet is a piece for 6 performers. Like a social laboratory, the piece tests the processes of creation and dissolution of groups. Infinite (re)arrangements of bodies, sounds and scenographic elements define new social rules as so many alternatives to the sole principles of inclusion and exclusion.

The scenography proposed in an asymmetrical bifrontal stage evokes a sports field, a role-playing game board or a topographical division. A framing on the ground of 1mx1m squares reveals, depending on the variations of light, continuous or fragmented surfaces. Felt blankets, which are tools for protection, packaging or sound absorption, are manipulated by the performers and create moving surfaces, volumes, landscapes and territories.
