Schauplatz International – CAP ESCAPE PLAISANCE CLUB

The artist couple Anne-Laure and Henri flee to the Côte d’Azur in order to learn to dance against a backdrop of the strartlingly blue Mediterranean Sea. They are no longer “Young Emerging Artists” (YEA) and have to reposition themselves in the art market.. but how? Driven by this urgency, the two  even consider playing “the cross cultural card” by impersonating an Iranian dissidenting couple – she with a veil, he with a beard.

Finally they make contact with the local cultural politician and plan their show in an old cinema that has been reborn as  a porn cinema. It’s too much: the world, them as artists in the world, their legitimacy and redudancy  – everything drives them and yet they drift aimlessly in the everything. What ultimately saves  them, what makes them hope that they can and will continue, is dance. And so they dance. They dance and dance. They will master the dances and the dances will master them, and they will finally be free.
