<li>Pierre Alain Volondat: piano master extraordinaire, winner of the 1983 Concours Reine Elizabeth, Belgium (one of world's largest contests for piano, violin or voice). Frustrated and obsessed to keep his spectacles clean and his page the right way up, you wonder?</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Stanley Kubrick: does this great master of cinematography still need to be presented? Hermit to the bone. Opposite to his work, his face was hardly known to the mass, working with a medium that has an exposure to many millions of people?</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Immanuel Kant: German philosopher, personally taking care of a corner stone in our western way of reasoning. Greatly supported by his aid Lampe in what can be seen as one of worlds most peculiar obsessive routine kept lives seen in history?</li>

<i>Ingenious</i> is wE/kataRakt's way to stage and portrait the thin red line through, what can be seen as "strikingly outrageous" behavior. A link, separated from their professional geniality, could be drawn in the behavior of these 3 people and from an outsiders point of view seen as utterly frustrated, routined, sometimes depressed yet overly persistence driven hermits catalogued as geniuses. </div>

The piece will be introduced by Ravel’s 'Pavane pour une infante défunte', interpreted live by Stephan Ginsburg.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This prelude will introduce the subject of this piece: the loss of innocence and the relationship between a man (disguised as a pink teddy bear) and the lifeless body of a woman who’s being manipulated like an object. Alternately an object of desire or scrap, she gradually gains life until she, </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">on her turn, </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">transforms the bear.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In this 'play of hybridation' both of them identify with the object of his/her desire and by borrowing the others' attributes, the woman becomes a phallic bear and the teddy bear becomes feminine.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It is definitely about the loss, fall and quest of an object forever lost or missi</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">ng.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">And it’s about the confusion and the impossible demand that ties us together and yet separates us forever.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This choreographic, but also plastic object uses a tremendously physical language to develop the objective relation to the other. The</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> metaphor for the relationship between men and women becomes a tale of cruelty.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Erwin Wauters composed 40% of the music for <i>Pavane</i> (all the electronica, plus repatches of existing songs) which supports the basement feeling this work breathes from the startingpoint. It combines atmospheric soundscapes with deep and heavy bases travelling (ochtaphonic) through the theatre.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This piece is inspired by the fundamental principles of psychoanalysis and by what Jacques Lacan developed in his writings about the concept of object - notably where he enumerates their different types: the oral, the anal, the view, the vocal and finally the nothing. These objects (cause of desire) are the evident truth of how one looks for what one is missing in the other or in oneself since they cannot be designated to real objects.</span></span></span><br />

Handmade gizmos also add to the rich texture of Infraspectre: minimalistic solos develop into seriously rhythmical ‘Cuts and Clicks’ and create a mystical and electrical radiation of sound.</span></span></span></div>

It puts 4 performers and 2 manipulators into an unusual scenographic concept. Sex Sells is not a stab at commercialism, nor is it a tirade about the hardships of artistic life. Instead, it shows that each element can usually not exist without the other; that the paths we choose artistically in life can be suddenly interrupted by commercial concepts.</span></span></span></div>
