Comfort and Complacency

In the spring program of BIT Teatergarasjen 2001 the following is written about Comfort and Complacency (2001) by Par B. L. eux and Benoît Lachambre:

"The visiting performance this spring, a BIT Teatergarasjen co-production, is Comfort and Complacency. It had its world wide premiere in Montreal the autumn of 2000. As in Délire Défait Lachambre forces the members of the audience to look and perceive in directions they hesitate to go.

One's basic values and ideas are placed into this snare, squeezed empty of categorical wisdom, leaving room for open reflection, as if that can add anything. The performers are dressed in fur. They are dressed in fur only, and the provocation is obvious - men, women and gender in an orgy of and about style, aesthetics, beauty and the right to comfort and complacency.

Integrated in the installation is Julie Andrée T., who balances the organic decadence with the cold and synthetic. The choreographer enters in stiletto heels, tied into a tight corset."
