Bullshit, She She Pop

In the organizer's words:

That's bullshit: a slang term for something that is false, discredited, nonsense. Or something that is invented, fake, misleading, a deception.

On an empty stage, the performers find themselves in the endless loop of a sales show. There is nothing here - and yet everything is on offer. The spiral around She She Pop as sellers of reality goes on and on, their search for something to which they can still attach a value, only to sell it off. Can they still grasp reality with their senses, describe it with words? Can it still be saved? Can anything withstand the sell-out? She She Pop have lost their bearings. The central perspective - from which they have learned to focus on any goal - has dissolved.

In "Bullshit", She She Pop courageously confront the loss of a shared reality. The performers acknowledge that they know nothing and that even the poetic reality of the theatrical space has been compromised. So they try to leave the bubble of their perception to assume other proportions, to see other colors, to communicate like the bat with echo sounder, and to find themselves in absolute darkness. They imagine other ways of seeing, they commit themselves to uncertainty and dedicate themselves to unlearning. Will they still succeed in shaping an experience out of chaos, finding meaning in randomness, creating meaning in the confusion of possibilities - or, as a last resort, declaring bankruptcy a comedy?
