Denial closed the performance AltéréGo! created at the Générateur in January 2011 when I first met the venue and its director Anne Dreyfus. AltéréGo! inaugurated a collaboration that has continued to the present day, with some fifteen projects. creations individual and collective.
The text presented here is one of many variations based on the same framework.
You think Tim Burton is a lot better than Ed Wood.
Do you think it was Wagner who killed Natalie Wood?
You think pedophilia is bad for kids.
You think Nazism is in the snake's egg...
You tell yourself rest assured your future lies ahead
You hold your own against complacent speeches
The violence is elsewhere, I know
The violence is elsewhere, I know
The violence is elsewhere, I don't beat my children...
My certainties flow from the sweat of my parents' brow
You've got precise ideas about right and wrong
You think by your wound that you're not an animal
You think as far ahead as you can see
You think in terms of your values
You think through your chosen ones
You think citizen
You say sexual abuse, it's really appalling.
You have convictions. Definitely
Friends, opinions, tastes and colours
You're not a follower, you think psychology
You're full of smells that permeate your life
Like a tank top after exercise
Like a tank top after exercise
You never wanted your sister
You don't want your parents to die
as late as possible
You think through your morals like you shit through your arse
Yes, but sometimes you also think, I shouldn't have
You say, history repeats itself. Banal
You say, it's definitely not normal
You think quality of being, you think there's only one thing to do, we have to
But what you really think is that my life is a sham
You love monsters, but from a distance
You like scapegoats at last
You only allow respectable company around the table
Others like you in the mirror
Can look each other in the face without averting their eyes
You want art
You want beauty
Still, a little complex strangeness
You want strong, you want sex,
You want us to upset you
You want to be moved
Let's put a price on your ass
And me and me and me!
You're no fool
It's all in your little head
You think Tim Burton is a lot better than Ed Wood.
You think Wagner killed Natalie Wood...
Is it?
Hey there, I don't know if we've ever stuck a finger up each other's arses?
Thank you, enjoy your evening and the show
Thank you, enjoy your evening and the show
Thank you, enjoy your evening and the show
