Cavaliers impurs

In a visual installation by Nadia Lauro

  • Performance
Arabic /  German /  English /  French /  approx. 60 mins.
Antonia Baehr is on all fours, Latifa Laâbissi sits on Antonia's back with a lofty gesture. They are each wearing a suit jacket and knee socks.

“Cavaliers impurs” (“Troubled Riders”) is a cabaret in a giant unfolded cardboard box. Antonia Baehr and Latifa Laâbissi develop a collage and manoeuvre through genres such as dance, singing, cover versions, and drag. They run the gamut from the dance of menopause to performance art gone adrift.
