Dear friend, wolves have always eaten sheep
Wild Vlees/ Frascati Producties |
The glory and decadence of Europe form the focal point of Francesca Lazzeri’s Dear friend, wolves have always eaten sheep. Western cities grow more and more vertically, reaching towards the sky. But their barriers are also heightened. It forces unwelcome people into a desperate stagnation.
As spectator of this physical and visual performance, you are confronted with a post-colonial landscape. No tear-jerking encounter with the excluded and his misery awaits you here. It rather proposes a minimalistic still life that foregrounds the act of exclusion itself. In this landscape power relations crave their perpetual reconfirmation. And not in vain. We? We are left to watch.
WILD VLEES is a Dutch based performance collective. They translate political, philosophical and societal aspects of being human into minimalistic performances. Boulevard audiences were left speechless by their earlier works When everything is human… and An Incomplete Life.
