MOBILE
A woman's body floats alone in the void. Its very weightlessness seems to liberate it from the restraints of gravity, suspended somewhere between life and death. Behind this human mobile stands an immense angular screen that defines the performance space. Superimposed on the swaying body are images created and projected in real time. Mobile, the most recent work by Montreal multidisciplinary artist Carole Nadeau, invites the viewer to explore a poetic and surreal world. The work questions identity, the power of speech from deep within and our perceptions of reality. It also explores notions about the human body, its limits and its ultimate purpose, which is to say, death. The motorized staging challenges the traditional codes that condition the audience relationship to the stage, while the live video images created in front of us convey a poetic simplicity. The two elements are woven together in the scripting of this mobile narrative in the thriller genre.
