Jeanne Spaeter - Love under Contract

Sun, 31 Aug - Mon, 1 Sep

Salle du Conseil municipal - Mairie de Bernex

La Bâtie - Festival de Genève

Goodbye to love and chance. Jeanne Spaeter gambles on a quality (hetero) relationship built on 14 clauses and a 365-day trial period. Who’s in? She posts the ad on Instagram, receives a reply, and Mike ends up joining the artist in building their romantic relationship. The rules are clear, specific and strict: every hour spent together, every night, every declaration of love is recorded, photographed and shared on Instagram under the tag #qualityromanticrelationship. This isn’t love, it’s a project. It unfolds live on stage, where the audience can participate by choosing one of four objects that surround the performer and act as her score. The audience asks questions, votes and giggles. You’ll leave with a smile on your face and plenty of questions in your mind!   Hosted with the support of the commune of Bernex, the Mairie d'Ambilly, Usine à Gaz, Canton of Vaud, Pro Helvetia - Swiss Arts Council, the Ernst Göhner Foundation and the Fonds Culturel Transfrontalier du Grand Genève (in progress).
