Plato's Symposium
"Sometimes I turn around and catch the smell of you and I cannot go on I cannot fucking go on without expressing this terrible so fucking awful physical aching fucking longing I have for you". Sarah Kane, 4.48 Psychosis
Loosely based on Plato’s Symposium, a performance inviting 30 guests to perform love letters, collected from various literary sources, across a dinner situation in Berlin’s L40 Art Centre. A lawyer, a politician, a few artists, 5 curators, some art lovers and the architect of the building utter the enchantment, boredom or despair expressed in the texts read aloud.
In collaboration with Stéphane Querrec.
