Ersatz – Julien Mellano / Collectif Aïe Aïe Aïe

A humanoid figure stands on stage, wordlessly probing virtual reality through the misuse of objects. Somewhere between an amusing performance and a disturbing farce, it invites the audience to take part in a funny and mysterious treasure hunt, where language is articulated through devious tinkering and pocket special effects. Far from a well-ordered discourse on the future, Ersatz wanders through a troubled world where the future is already present. The absurd and the miraculous meet and weave in a black hole to reach the vanishing point of our humanity, whether real, virtual or augmented.
