Drop the Gogo (2017)

Using as a pretext the gogo-dancers you might meet in a club, and from whom you mostly expect that they’ll fulfill their role as living and breathing ornaments, Drop the Gogo questions our ambitions and fantasies: are they really our own or were they subtly forced on us?

A journey through the land of narcissism, this short performance showcases our dependence to appearances and our vulnerability to the gaze of others. In the mirror of sexiness, your reflection is distorted.

Only one thing is for certain: the strip-tease won’t be the one you’re expecting.
