Dead Pigeon Party [2019]
location
We are in Arboretum de Balaine, France,
at the Château Perché Music Festival.
THe sun is shining. People are dancinG
THW Happening Phase 1
It emerges from the background.
Clown-like make-up. Ribbons hanging from the body.
A dead pigeon lies on a tray. The same pigeon that layed
for days at the edge of the festival path.
It WAKES slow, its gaze full of sadness and pain.
People are dancing, bodies facing the stage.
It slowly pushes their way through the dancers.
Some react. One decides to take a hit of cocaine on the tray.
It slowly moves on, to another dance floor.
Phase 2
On the dance floor it places the dove between the dancers.
At first it is an observer. An exchange begins.
A celebration of the animal. People begin to decorate the
dove lying there with the surrounding rubbish.
Dancing around the dove. It transforms into a documenter,
into a photographer. People share stories that
they associate and lived with pigeons.
Closing
It takes back the pigeon and disappears
behind a stage where it buries the pigeon under a bush.
