COCKS IN HELL, DEMOISELLES - Débugue-toi, lady !
**Commissionned by Quasar
*A limited number of bone‑conduction headphones will be made available to the audience for this piece.
"Isn't she cute!" Under this pretext, can we touch her? NO! Whether it is a ladybug or a woman. STOP!
The provocative title is drawn from the nursery rhyme Coccinelle demoiselle (Ladybug), playing on a certain homophony. The piece addresses, in order: aggression, the resulting trauma, the potential response through self-defense techniques, and the desired release of tension. It also tackles the vigilance required in a world where women's rights are dismantled faster than they could ever be consolidated. Consequently, the transition from childhood to adulthood can sometimes feel aggressive, even violent.
Various technological tools are employed: Motion Capture, a loudspeaker dome, and bone conduction headphones (mixed spatialization). Together, these allow for the most immersive and individual experience possible. Furthermore, within an interdisciplinary framework, the saxophone quartet (Quasar) blends self-defense techniques with music.
