When will the waiting come to an end?," the spoken text could begin, but it is not spoken.
Words would be too soft for all that surrounds her.
Is she waiting alone in an abandoned house for someone? Perhaps her husband? Surely he is a salesman, manager, or even a soldier? But in what war are we in? Or is it just the lost dream of oneself? What violence has she been subjected to? Nothing indicates a specific era. Neither the white curtains nor the few props have a history or origin.
What difference does it make?
We are in the heart of a woman who lives in a frozen uncertainty beyond normal feelings.
Outside, trains rattle over the tracks, while dogs howl like hyenas as if there's no tomorrow.
Order seems lost. The radio plays Zarah Leander one moment and then Bartok or Cowboy Indian Bear the next. Thoughts are deconstructed into movements and bombarded with archaic sounds, until the body, naked and defenseless, bends to fate and leaves the field as an animal.
Performer Lise Pauton combines philosophical aspects with her dance and contortion to create ever-changing fates and sensations. In a time of post-factual truth, she opposes it and arms herself to create peace. Alone against the world.
The heart must wait and remain still beneath the metallic armor that replaces the little black dress.
Not a little girl with matches, but a woman beyond good and evil. A tour de force for body and mind.
