BLEIB

Bitch of a life

In the almighty market, where is the man, where is the dog?

ANTHROPO•CANINE BALLET
BLEIB OPUS 3 BY MICHEL SCHWEIZER
(…)

As the dogs move exactly as they are told, a screen analyzes the « drive », « the elation degree » and other « comfort need » of their masters. And the slogans go by: « prosperity-security-partnership » ; « healthy body, sharp spirit ». Everyone is invited to freely position themselves. Michel Schweizer chose a position since the creation in 1995 of his company La Coma. He defines himself as « experience organizer » rather than choreographer and resorts to « service provider » rather than « performers ». A quiet provocative way to use the code of a system that he criticizes.
