It’s possible

The collaborative piece “It’s possible” with Axel Dörner and Christine Saulut Bonansea focuses on the subjects in conceiving a series of narrative experiences appearing as disconnected and fragmented actions. “It’s possible “ sets a radical rhythm — sequences unfolding with clear intention where only the task seems to carry meaning, held within a strict, active temporality that offers no obvious resolution.
The theater is used to emphasize the absurdity of life in building a system of arbitrary actions that would refer to our perception of reality. The outcome is not dramatic, but carries a state of auto-derision, embodying a contingency. Movements and sounds reveal the attention to life and the acceptance of the human condition, even in its own absurdity.
According to Camus “the absurd is born of the confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world”.
