Waiting for a Shadow
The City as Tableau Vivant

If theatre-makers Lotte van den Berg and Benjamin Verdonck and visual artist Pauline Oltheten have something in common, it is their partiality to street choreography. In the spirit of the Situationists, they discover the poetry of everyday life, which they record and circumspectly imitate or incorporate in a direction of their own. Unlike that of their famous predecessors, this work does not seem inclined to social criticism. Their interest is more general in nature, a call to attention.
