Where the fuck am I?
A monkey, a robot, a painting by Raphael or Pippi Longstocking. They all form an atlas of memory; the body stutters them; the voice transforms them like a radio searching for its frequency. Where the fuck am I? explores various incarnations, mixing entertainment and nostalgia, perdition and amusement. The stage is a playground for an incessant flow of images, shared memories and troubled representations. The dance becomes a chaos of figures and a collage of sound references. Zoé Lakhnati and Per Anders Kraudy Solli experiment with voice and dance movement, viewing both as containers of memory. Their practice consists of following, directing, subverting or emphasising sounds or movements induced by the other. Where the fuck am I? is a space for projecting images that mix and mingle, as if imagining new representations that might belong to Generation Z. The first question, perhaps, is: where are we?
