Denial

Share this page

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.

Tu penses que c’est Wagner qu’a tué 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
