ANALOG DIGITAL - open rehearsals
2024-02-14 20:30 UTC | Theater ins Blau
During the nAchTELIER you can take a peak behind the scenes in, during our rehearsals for ANALOG <-> DIGITAL
at 20h30, 21h30 and 22h30.
ANALOG <-> DIGITAL s a movement theater performance dedicated to a disequilibrating contemporary world. Analogue sounds compete with digital ones, books burn and e-readers rise, vinyls are the new dancefloor and polaroids our only archive.
In a scenography between pixels and objects arises a temporal space where micromovements appear: fingers precisely initiating the ongoing dance of a spinning top or the blink of an eye caught in an extravagant selfie.
Inspired by ancient and contemporary games, sweetly accompanied by a tendency to escapism, the performers question/teases/underlines our relation with digital and analogue objects. ANALOG <-> DIGITAL invites you to oscillate in between contradictory cravings: waiting for a handwritten letter, detesting technology, falling in love with a screen (maybe even a robot?), breaking your phone, crying for a book, stealing a spinning top, scratching a vinyl, getting addicted to chatGPT .
Teasing our obedience to a digital environment and the glorification of the screen,K&A invites the audience on a delirious trip, that ends with a blink.

AM I A ROBOT?*
2023-11-19 21:30 - 22:30, 2023-11-18 19:00 - 20:00 (Europe/Lisbon) | SOAP Bar, Rua do Bolhão, 132, Porto, Portugal
‘Tonight, we would like to hear a loud and enthusiastic applause for our very special guest Sophia.’ ‘Sophia, how are you tonight?’
Funny, uncomfortable, provoking, sometimes with a delay, Sophia answers questions. Inspired by a true story, “AM I A ROBOT?*” invites you to encounter SOPHIA. She is a social humanoid robot that was activated on February 14, 2016 and is the first robot to receive citizenship of any country. AM I A ROBOT?* is a documentary show on the edge: an inappropriate circus demonstration to question our capability for empathy and explore our repetitive failure to recognise the rights of what is perceived as otherness.

“Talk show, AI, post-human, racism, robotics, ethics, starification. We miss one word.. Empathy. How did we forget to be human?” K&A

Lifespan of a match: a few seconds
Lifespan of a volcano: several tens of thousands of years
In “MATCH THE MATCHES” K&A invite the viewers to oscillate in between the complementary dynamics of a volcano and a match. Their unique universality reigns in the history of humanity. In a visual poetic trip the timing in between the ignition of a match and the ignition of a volcano expands.

MINUS 9
2023-10-21 16:00 - 22:30 UTC | AMOQA Athens Museum of Queer Arts, Athens, Greece
MINUS 9 is an anatomic sound installation,
a one on one performance of 14 min for an ear, to hear, here.
It is an invitation to dive into the sonographic scenography of your own body.
From the outside all seems to be silent, from the inside the first blast of the universe is making a big band. In MINUS 9, the boundaries between musician and audience, between music and ritual, silence and sound, drumming and dreaming are broken down.
‘With MINUS 9 we tease the equilibrium in the hierarchy of the senses. Can the “ear, hear, here” become the touching vestibule of a new order? We challenge the distance in between. When do we allow ourselves to be touched, metaphorically or literally? We invite the audience to re-question and rethink how we relate to each other. In our society a few roles trespass our comfort zone to touch our skin: doctors, caretakers, dance & sport coaches. They touch you but are you really touched? Music touches us emotionally, but what if it would literally touch your flesh?’ K&A
K&A within their performative constellations transform/translocate/transhape the relationship between the performer and the spectator to make it fluid.
In any theater the audience carries a predetermined role. Within the work of K&A the expectation to be silent, to sit in the dark, to stay immobile, to watch the stage is being shifted. The latitude of the performer correlates with the longitude of the audience and is being redefined. In MINUS 9 the ear of the audience becomes the music instrument on which the composition is made on and the soundsystem through which it is perceived. MINUS 9 crosses the inner ear sound barrier, exposes the noise, the music that is hidden inside our own machine. This performance is a sonographer, an ultrasound guide into the auditors unknown zones. It is an ode to the simplicity that carries the multiplicity. A performance for an ear: to hear/here.

JUNGLE THE FUTURE
2023-09-29 20:30 UTC | Theater ins Blau
JUNGLE THE FUTURE is a “fairytale gone wrong” for grown ups
JUNGLE THE FUTURE is a theatrical f(r)iction documentary.
JUNGLE THE FUTURE drags you into the groovy world of sharK and zebrA… our world!
“The future is here… so is the jungle.” K&A

Jungle the Future portrays the science-fiction journey of a humanized zebrA and sharK that escape their habitats to settle in cement territories: our cities. In the heart of a metropolis – amidst its grey neighborhoods- they confront the rites and customs of humans. In an effort to blend in they eat cigarettes, dress-up in the corners, get drunk on salt and gallop on rollers. The scandalous dream of the zebrA-lexandra Bellon, and of the sharK-arla Isidorou, is to integrate into human society. The audience, as if visiting a zoo or a crime scene, stays safely behind the lines. They witness their struggles, nostalgia, dreams for a better life and irresistable stamina to keep trying.
Their movements unfold between savage animalistic trance gestures and wacky odd human actions. What happens when the animals become all too human?“Jungle the Future” is a m-Ask s-How that questions our relationship with animals, urban and wild territories: BORDERS, ORDERS, OTHERS.
In this physical theater performance the music becomes a storyteller without words, tracing back the migration of the two animals with granulair percussive sounds, atmospheric motives and groovy cords. Are you ready for the JUNGLE? Are you ready for the FUTURE?
Jungle the Future to offer your mind provocative wild spaces and species.

Le Tiret d’Alice / épisode 2
2023-09-17 15:00 - 18:00 UTC | Villa Bernasconi, Grand-Lancy, Switzerland
De la fin du 19e siècle aux années 1940, une révolution administrative bouleverse le monde du travail. Dans la continuité des réformes tayloriennes, la rationalisation du travail de bureau se développe avec l’essor de nouveaux modes d’organisation et la création de nouveaux outils techniques. La machine à écrire constitue alors l’objet iconique de cette nouvelle ère, tandis que la dactylographe en sera la figure incontournable. Ainsi, d’innombrables bataillons administratifs, majoritairement composés de femmes, vont rejoindre les employés de bureau jusqu’alors essentiellement masculins, pour y occuper les postes subalternes – et nettement moins bien rémunérés – de dactylographes et de sténographes.
C’est dans ce contexte que la jeune Alice Rivaz intègre en 1925 le récent Bureau International du Travail, où elle travaillera jusqu’à sa retraite comme sténodactylographe puis documentaliste. Au sein d’une société encore très conservatrice, cette institution moderne et cosmopolite lui fournit un poste d’observation unique sur les mutations organisationnelles et sociales de son époque. Alors que Rivaz et ses consœurs se trouvent vouées « aux tâches abstraites qu’exige l’administration des choses », portant sur leurs épaules le poids d’une modernité placée sous le signe de l’accélération et du rendement, la romancière se servira bientôt du même outil – la machine à écrire – pour affirmer sa propre voix et témoigner de son expérience. Dans ses romans Comme le sable (1946) et Le Creux de la Vague (1967), elle décrit avec une finesse remarquable ces nouveaux environnements de travail et de vie. Elle y questionne aussi bien la crise de sens produite par cette révolution administrative, que la reconfiguration des rapports de domination genrés qui l’accompagnent.
Près d’un siècle plus tard, ces questions restent largement d’actualité. Elles prennent toutefois des formes nouvelles, alors que le travail subalterne qui sous-tend l’administration des choses se trouve parfois délégué aux machines, parfois délocalisé, souvent invisibilisé. Pour remonter aux sources de cette histoire et en aborder les enjeux, l’historienne et sociologue Delphine Gardey, spécialiste (entre autre!) de l’histoire des employées de bureaux sera en conversation avec Valérie Cossy, professeure en études genre et autrice de l’ouvrage « Alice Rivaz. Devenir romancière » (éd. Suzanne Huret, 2015). La Compagnie K&A (Karla Isidorou et Alexandra Bellon) proposera une performance musicale participative avec machines à écrire, dont la fameuse Olivetti Lettera 32 qu’Alice Rivaz avait elle-même possédée. L’artiste Ramaya Tegegne questionnera les enjeux de la charge administrative chez les artistes – entre asservissement et émancipation. Enfin, nous profiterons de cet événement pour inaugurer notre première édition d’Insert, conçue par l’écrivain Daniel de Roulet en complément de son livre « La Suisse de travers » (éd. Héros-Limite, 2020).

APOCALYPSE MON AMOUR
2023-05-06 20:00 - 21:00 (Europe/Zurich) | La Palpitante, Mens, France
APOCALYPSE MON AMOUR is an experimental documentary that zooms into the future 8102: a year in which the language is invaded by a virus. A live typed text is being engraved on the screen of the room, the sounds of the amplified typewriter intrude the surrounding sound system of the cinema. Subtitles, are not any more the sub, but the protagonists. They become the encoded images of the film. Through the cursor, the live voice over and the circular sound the audience is blend into a looping apocalyptic world.
A live film, an immersive performance as an ode/death sentence to the letters of 8102.
The question is not what happens before. The question is not what will be after.
The core is the transformation itself – as if typing into the eye of the cyclone. Letters swirling and dissolving into the air.
You lose your letters?
Time goes on.
How long will you still be able to pass on the message?

APOCALYPSE MON AMOUR, exposes the timeline of the expansion of a virus, that grabs the common communication system: our language. An experimental documentary that zooms into 8102, a year without letters.
A taste of..
The live typed text is being engraved on the screen of the room.The sounds of the amplified typewriter intrude the surrounding sound system of the cinema. The old machine becomes a music and filming installation. Subtitles, are not any more the sub, but the protagonists. They become the encoded images of the film. K&A control a black screen on which white letters, words and sentences tell the story of a virus in the language.
Appearance / Disappearance.
Through the cursor, the audience is being moved between enters, shifts, capital letters and corrected wor(l)ds. Mistakes reign on a black screen intruded by voids. The words are scarred, glitched, reversed, articulated, damaged, bugged. The audience is blend into a looping apocalyptic world.
“I try to type you a letter. I try to type you for later. From 8102 to now.”

RELAY OF MATCHES
2022-10-09 19:00 - 20:00 (Europe/Zurich) | Home for Cooperation, Buffer Zone, Cyprus
RELAY OF MATCHES is a simple collective action: a poetic ignition, a crucial gesture, to transfer the gravity of inflammability.
How inflammable are our thoughts? Our actions? Our links? All together, performers & audience, we relay a simple gesture… some would say a childrens game: passing the sparkle of a match from one to another. Success or failure is not the point. Like thousands of people before us we will share the fire. From body to body, hand to hand, match to match, border to border.
Note: this performance is participatory.

Le Tiret d’Alice / épisode 1
2022-09-18 15:00 - 18:00 UTC | Villa Bernasconi, Grand-Lancy, Switzerland
Une après-midi de lectures, débats et performances autour de l’œuvre littéraire d’Alice Rivaz et des enjeux de politique et d’éthique du soin.
Une proposition de l’Institut d’étude des intervalles, autour de la sculpture
« Le Tiret» d’Aurélien Gamboni.
À bien des égards, la romancière Alice Rivaz (1901 – 1998) peut être considérée comme une autrice pionnière en regard des enjeux de politiques et d’éthique du care, qui traversent ses écrits avec une constance remarquable dès les années 1940. Ses descriptions minutieuses des ressorts de « l’esclavage domestique » et de l’invisibilisation du travail des femmes, ses évocations de la puissance des gestes de soins, ainsi que ses appels à développer de nouvelles formes d’expression pour appréhender l’expérience des personnes en position de subalternes, ont conservé toute leur force d’interpellation.
Programme :
15h:
Coutumier des expérimentations plastiques et auditives les plus étonnantes, le duo d’artistes pluridisciplinaires K&A (Karla Isidorou & Alexandra Bellon) crée pour l’occasion un environnement sonore original dédié à Alice Rivaz, ponctué par des lectures de la danseuse et chorégraphe Caroline de Cornière.
15h30:
Pour explorer l’œuvre d’Alice Rivaz au prisme des théories du care, la linguiste Stéphanie Pahud et la chercheuse en éthique du soin Nadja Eggert, toutes deux membres du groupe de recherche CARE de l’Université de Lausanne, sont en conversation avec Sylviane Dupuis, poétesse, dramaturge, essayiste et professeure de littérature.
