Bath House

« A tension immediately settles in and the 10 minutes in silence becomes thick, filled with the curiosity and fascination of these bodies shaving the ground. »
DFDanse, Justine Parisien-Dumais, 2014 – Montréal

Repertoire piece

Year of creation
2013

Duration
15 minutes

Witnesses, the spectators' bodies form large walls around the stage and look down on the contortionist bodies at ground level.

When it was created for the Piss in the Pool event at Bain Saint-Michel, Bath House was inspired by the power of ocean water enclosed in an enclosed space, a swimming pool, to talk about territory, control and repression.
