Sans effort

duration : approx. 75'

Sans effort is Joël Maillard’s new creation, for which he refrained from writing anything. The project is based on a question: How could people without books and computers survive culturally? What is left of the human brain in the absence of any external storage media? In association with Marie Ripoll on stage, Louis Jucker for the music and Tiphanie Bovay-Klameth as external memory bank, Joël Maillard explores human memory and oral transmission as a unique medium of creation. The communication process between these four internal memories thus becomes the central character in this performance. Following on from his first works which focused on absence, and the thought process initiated with Quitter la Terre (2017) and Imposture posthume (2019), the artist builds on his work on human traces and their disappearance.
