The ontology of questioning: a self-interview practice, 2023

The ontology of questioning is a polymorph piece in the sense that it changes shapes, questions and content depending on the context and the audience’s response to what is proposed.

The piece is about taking risks, about the political and the absurd, about a pink octopus and a plant, about the the ecological implications of performing in front of an audience, about intersubjectivity, expectations, inclusivity and fluid identity…

Mainly it’s about asking questions we constantly ask ourselves… and about questions we never ask ourselves.

Deconstructing the obvious and constructing the piece in time and space with the audience, ‘The ontology of questioning’ invites to re-think the notion of identity in relationship to context.

Performance, concept and choreography: Marie Chabert
