Combining text, movement, video and visual props, Victor Delétraz’s performances always attempt to crystallise fragile, absurd, woobly and poetic moments.
He takes a critical look of our society (of the Spectacle) and our consumption patterns, using actions and gestures that are often harmless, improvised or employing artifices which fail as a reminder of our daily perfomativity and our multiple and subjective existences.
Simple magic, smoke, low quality for eyes care, hidden things behind woodboard to make them theatre and a 190 beats per minute soundtrack are subjects that appeal him currently.

Elements that have an end. That have a duration. Are not eternal.
Compressed elements, squeezed. Do not spoil please.
Improvise stages. Inside:
a set, a hole, a narrative.
Repetitions, rehearsals.
Two synchronized bodies as dance.
A body of the present, a body of the past. An editing body, now. Shown now.
Super empty atmosphere. Musics and lights are here for the party. Total letting go.
Fragile cardboard, fragile inflated plastic skin, fragile human skin facing violence.
Infra existential questions while the answer is: taking care of his garden and taking care of political struggles.
