Tanz Performance Serie # 24
A modern oracle that will ultimately consume itself
“I carry a log - yes. Is it funny to you? It is not to me. Behind all things are reasons. Reasons can even explain the absurd.” - Introduction by the Log Lady, Twin Peaks 1st episode.
monoLOG is inspired by the Log Lady Monologues that introduce every episode of David Lynch's TV series Twin Peaks and the Log Lady character itself. As a modern oracle, she tries to connect with others telling them words of ominous wisdom, never truly understood, but always mysterious and appealing.
“The parallels between this character, the idea of oracle, and the status of performer fascinated me. The idea is to connect with a hidden, unknown world, through movement and to try to make it visible to others. Which part of it is real, which part is make-believe? How does the performer let himself be carried away between one and the other?” - Samuel Lefeuvre
