MIET WARLOP - TALK SHOW

TALK SHOW sets out to investigate the impact of visual slapstick comedy on verbal performance. Artist Miet Warlop invited Hilde D’haeyere to add words to her visual work and observe how the combination spirals out of control. Visual actions illustrate, undermine, and invigorate academic analysis of slapstick motifs, such as the vulnerability of the stunt performer, vernacular comedy and the culture of the quick change. By combining visual performance with an academic approach, TALK SHOW celebrates the impact of information on action, and of performance on analysis. However, clumsy virtuosity and magic tricks might transform each performance into a dangerously tragic action. Let’s start falling.
