After a night of partying, a sister and a brother reconnect. When they were children twenty years before, a tragedy tore apart their deep bond. Acknowledging the collapse of the system that brought on this traumatizing experience, the two adults envision a plan of action and a possible future as they process the event with a new sensitivity and analytical ability. With EXTRA LIFE, Gisèle Vienne continues her work on systems of perception. By breaking down the experience of this heartbreaking moment, the choreographer invents a form where the various layers of sentient experience – the past, the present, the projected future, the remembering – live together. EXTRA LIFE is an extremely intense dance piece propelled by the combination of the performers’ acting, music by Caterina Barbieri, sound design by Adrien Michel and lighting by Yves Godin. To think through the various levels of perception, Gisèle Vienne draws from collage work conceived with the performers Katia Petrowick, Adèle Haenel and Theo Livesey. A singular scenic language where personal experiences nurture thought processes and words.
