Au Grand Passage continues the research begun with Les corps incorruptibles and questions the place of the dead in our Western societies. Drawing on an intimate and scientific investigation, the artist brings her two deceased grandmothers onto the stage and attempts a dialogue with them. Moving between memory, construction, and unsettling experiences, the performance blurs the boundaries between the living and the invisible. What happens when the dead refuse to remain silent and continue to act among us? What symbolic place do our societies grant to those who have passed away?

Meeting point: Kasernenhof 8 (entrance on the courtyard side of kHaus)

Biography

AURÉLIA LÜSCHER began her theatrical training at the Geneva Conservatoire and went on to study at the École de la Comédie de Saint-Étienne. It was here that she met her future collaborators.  With playwright Guillaume Cayet, she co-founded the company "Le désordre des choses". "Les corps incorruptibles" is Aurélia's latest project with the company (supported by the Fondation d'Entreprise Hermès and the Fonds de dotation POROSUS). This work explores the treatment of mortal remains in Western contexts, combining theatre, visual arts, performance and fiction in a constant exchange of practices. Its artistic ambition is to offer audiences a universe at the crossroads of theatrical writing, performance and installation. In this hybrid mode of production, she takes on multiple roles: investigator, writer, set designer, constructor and performer. Her next project, a continuation of the previous one, will deal with the relationship between the living and the dead and the construction of ghosts. She lives and works between France and Switzerland.
