Sophie Castonguay
You took the words right out of my mouth

When I watch a performance, I'm fascinated from the moment it begins: the moment that the performers assume their stage personas and then, the moment they return to being their own selves. I work within these tensions. I stretch out at the opening and push back into the end. I go back and forth within a performance which never starts, and the anticipation of an ending which never arrives.

Sophie Castonguay creates a performance where she is the director and the audiences are the performers. Under her direction of spoken words, she creates moments of expectation, choosing and delegating the role played by each person. In this performance, she constructs the impossibility of removing representational spaces, regardless of how insignificant these spaces are.
