Modus Operandi

Puppet show for adults
Creation 2014
Available on tour

 
In a few words


In order for the audience to experiment with and observe their own reactions within the limit situation proposed here - near-death experience - Modus Operandi places the audience directly inside the show.

Free to move, the audience becomes both spectator and actor.
For some time now in the West, the medicalization during the final moments of life has profoundly changed our relationship with death. Through medical scrutiny, very often the patient becomes 'a thing’, they lose their identity and are simply their illness; it is then difficult for the dying persons’ family and loved ones to find a place for themselves in the space left by the institution, and it seems that it is now up to the medical machine to write our final moments.

But, really, what about the human being, its aspirations, its dignity?

This show is like a journey, oscillating between the grotesque universe of medical interventions and the inherent poetry of the puppet.

It doesn’t offer any answers, however it suggests to touch softly, to draw closer to one another, to oneself, and it brings us back to what is most intimate to us: our bond with Life.

"“Death is not the opposite of Life; Life is the play between birth and death, and does not have an opposite.”   Arnaud Desjardins
