Technology and dance performance for the street and unconventional spaces.
A traveling show that engages audiences. Spectators must follow specific instructions to enjoy both the video creation captured in the stroller's four windows and the live performance of the Countess's and the chauffeur/gentleman's choreography.
La Petite Voiture 2.0 ironically presents a critique of patriarchy and the stigmatization of women through aspects such as money, glamour, and beauty.
For all audiences.
La Petite Voiture 2.0 introduces us to the Countess and the Gentleman. The second represents glamour, the superficial world that we all love and desire at some point.
The Countess lives hooked on him and what it means to be trapped and try to escape every day to free herself from her bonds. However, it is not easy to break the chains when the brightness of everything around you blinds you.
The myth of Sisyphus serves as inspiration to show a society in which everything repeats itself in a continuous and exasperating way. Furthermore, the show raises different questions: what is the price of money really? How are we socially conditioned? Do we all hide a little voyeur inside? as well as, a reflection on love, confinement, claustrophobia, social ties or the idea of God.
Finally, the stroller is another character in this story, representing the Countess's inner world that we can discover through her windows and, on the other hand, being her prison and her attachment to the Gentleman's world.
