Nino Wassmer invites us to share a participatory experience in a closed space. Standing in the middle of a circle that we form, the artist gives us the opportunity to manipulate his body using 6 lengths of wood. From being mere spectators, the audience find themselves at the heart of this creation, connected to this dancing and juggling body through big sticks. The mechanisms of power and consent are tested. How does it feel directing the performer? Can we resist? What are the boundaries?

This performance is inspired by studies into human behaviour in the face of authority, like those of Stanford and Milgram. A Study of Power questions – from within – dominant/submissive relationships, the power of the group over the individual, as well as the roots of obedience. A captivating experience of sound and the senses.
