Laurène Buchheit (°1995, FR) is a transdisciplinary artist using installation, text, and performance as resources to build systems. Conceived as slapstick sceneries, they blend assemblages involving humour, playfulness, poetry and elements of the realm with texts referring to absurd situations, societal codes of power, sexuality, free time, language and so on. During the N+1 Residency, Laurène Buchheit aims to develop a performance involving motifs such as asking for rotten fruit at the greengrocers, the presence of backup dancers on stage, a personal practice of saving bread from the trash at night, seeking mouse anecdotes to understand the fear of something small that’s afraid (too) of something big, queer silent movies gestures, scales, the importance of the microphone on stage and dialogues written with graffiti found in public toilets. While the melody is familiar, the language must be renewed.
