Gard game operated operatic performance

Commissioned by het resort presented at S08E01 exhibition ‘doesn’t last then, does it?’ in Schouwburgcafé de Souffleur
A group of overdressed and unapologetically loud women gather at the bar. Following sequences and gestures dictated by a card game, the party moves from quiet gossip to revelling in noise and excess. The piece is reinterpreted each time, shifting with the mood and chemistry of its performers in an exuberant ode to female friendship, gossip and the gospel truth.
Performed by Dajana Heremic, Laureen Langkamp, Pinelopi Tseliou and Vanina Tsvetkova
