Transformer to harness small amounts of wasted energy, 2025
Performance by Camille Lacroix, with Marie Bénédicte Cazeneuve and Sig Valax
La Centrale, Saturday, October 25, 2025, 7 p.m.
This performance, inspired by a text by Marcel Duchamp, presents a gallery of living, loud, low-energy ready-mades. Presented on pedestals, the bodies of three performers are coupled with sound devices designed to recycle their "wasted energies". Sound reveals these unruly energies, which escape the control of their "performers".
By extending the issue of energy waste to the human body, this performance humorously questions our fantasies of high performance and perpetual intensity.
