Lesions

Jules Fischer

Lesions consists of a monologue lip-synced in interaction with an intense, almost autonomous light design and a beautiful saxophone soundtrack. The monologue samples from various texts, TV series, and films, focusing on the construction of gender and a latent desire for love that lies behind the seemingly angry speech.

ABOUT LESIONS

Lesions is centered around a text interweaving Paul B. Preciado’s Testo Junkie and the TV show Designing Women. The text is spoken by iconic German actress Susanne Sachße and performed as a lipsync. The space is dictated by a rotating spotlight—at times like an oncoming truck, at others a relentless theatrical light—shifting between blinding and illuminating both performer and audience. Through the performance we witness her gradual depletion and absurd struggle to maintain a certain form, trapped in a narrative and scene over which she has little control.
