Kindertotenlieder evokes the strange tradition in some Austrian villages where in a violent ritual during the night of the Saint-Nicholas, characters called Perchten* come out in the streets and out of hell and the beyond. Figures, masks, snow that falls without discontinuing on living or unconscious bodies. Like a long image which ceremoniously unravels, real or imagined bodies merge together... Gisèle Vienne and American writer Dennis Cooper examine together the confusion between fantasy and reality when these burst into the community. A disturbingly beautiful, languid and violent show. Dennis Cooper and Gisèle Vienne met in 2004 on a suggestion by Les Subsistances. Since then, they have continued to work together on shows such as I Apologize (first production created at Les Subsistances in October 2004) and Une belle enfant blonde (first production Avignon Festival 2005).
