Le R\u00e9pondant<\/em> is an over-structured live telephone piece, fusing the forces of corporate narration, “You are the Hero” calls, psychotherapy by telephone, Kafkaesque maze, the suaveness of intimate calls and the frigid distancing of robotic conversations. A call to find out what you did not know you were looking for, through the mortification and the expiatory delights that ordinating structures impose on the all-too-human desires to be heard, to be called, and to believe oneself free.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nMarion Lessard is a collective composed of Marie Cherbat-Schiller, \u00c9lisabeth M. Larouine, Claude Romain, Jean-Nicolas L\u00e9onard and Alice Roussel, whose practice in video, literature, drawing and public communications, confuse identity with what it is.
\n<\/span><\/p>\nPlaying with the founding notions of individuality, unity, originality, autonomy and identity, Marion Lessard sheds light on the linguistic, socio-political, psychic and philosophical structures that order our Western societies.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
