so the general idea is that it's about a series of murders, all told from different audience members perspectives, right? I don't know if this is the whole performance, but this comes from Gisele Vienne's (aka the choreographer and director of KTL) website: Kindertotenlieder examines the representation of dread, in relation to the representation of death, and the constant proximity in which it remains with human properties such as the body physical appearance and behaviour. The representation of dread and the horrifying leads to what Sigmund Freud called the “uncanny”: the representation of something both familiar and alien, and consequently disturbing. It therefore constitutes a great trigger of cathartic experiences characterising ceremonies, rituals and shows, such as the one we are concerned with. The stage, in this case, and in general, is a place where one can call to and resuscitate the dead. Between dream and reality, performers blend in the play, through their appearance and movements, with other characters represented by artificial or altered bodies - moving or limp - who create this feeling of the uncanny linked to death by mimicking life. My work usually centres on the relationship between natural and artificial bodies. On this project, it will be more precisely focused on how the body is represented in traditional Austrian iconography. This will allow me to tackle the issue of the representation of death and the horrifying. More particularly, Kindertotenlieder works on the custom related to the “Perchten”, creatures who appear mid-winter to offer protection against demons and to punish cursed souls. This custom is still alive today and stirs in us fantasies of cruelty, innocence and expiation. Through this work, I am keen to examine the meaning of the fantasies expressed through this custom. I would also like to explore the confusion that may occur between the official events where this fantasy is expressed - such as ceremonies - and reality. Dennis Cooper will write a text exploring these issues. If my work so far was dealing with the relationship between truth and fiction in a personal and intimate setting, this new work examines the confusion between fantasy and reality in a collective context.

I sure do love KTL, but what the fuck is going on in this performance? Can anyone shed some light?
