Dave St. Pierre: Bare Naked Souls

Dave St. Pierre experiments and improvises with his performers on the themes of violence and cruelty. With an eye on the mechanisms of the usual cynical handling of perversion and violence, with an eye on the naked, unprotected human body – caught up in abnormal situations, unattractive and vulnerable at the same time. The performers, dancers, musicians and actors improvise with the audience’s reactions. Every evening a new show, a new performance is created together with the audience – integrating the tolerance and emotions of the audience as well as of the 14 performers.
