Léa Rault

In this piece, Pilot Fishes together with composers/musicians Jérémy Rouault and Laura Perrudin take on the story of four people finding themselves enclosed for undetermined period of time.

The Siberian Trombinoscope is a spoken, danced & sung series of portraits, actions and interactions based on rules, codes, despairs and other contemporary miseries that orchestrate this world.

We were curious to discover the dreams and desires of these four. Especially because we knew none of it will ever become real.
We imagined something else for them.
We wanted to see them adapt.
Keemi I love walls. It is safe and there’s something to lean against.
LWO There’s no way out. Just lay down and wait… It’s a pity there’s no WiFi.
Péné I don’t understand why I am here. I haven’t done anything wrong. Every experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within it a blessing of some kind. I’ve got to tell them…  For the sake of our community!
Cowboy One should choose attitude over experience. Save one’s face! Ahah! If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way.
The hardest was to get rid of their memories which would return persistently.

As actions we take in order to protect ourselves from the undesirable.
As precautionary measures which, when push comes to shove, might prove themselves useless.
As fictions we fill our lives with instead of accepting that we are going into the unknown.
Fear is where it all comes into being.
Fear of disappearance, loss or harm to loved ones is not only a driver of exaggerated preventive measures, but is also a source of most forms of obsessive-compulsive disorder and superstitious behaviour.
To worry is to pretend that we know or control what we actually don’t.
In Life Insurances we explore the comic potential of all these vain, useless and absurd actions and coping mechanisms that structure our presence in the World.
