PARADIXXX
2009
A porno dubbing session
Premiered at Théâtre Aux Écuries, Montréal
March 4th to March 14th, 2009
Two foley artists and four performers walk onstage. Prompted by the stage manager, the team tests the mics. They’re preparing to dub a pornographic movie, which is projected for the audience.
Then, after it turns out some footage is missing, the actors have to use more than their voices to get the job done. Just how far are they willing to go to practice their craft?
ParadiXXX deals with the mechanisms of desire that drive the performing arts. In attending this unusual dubbing session, what has the audience actually come to see?
BRANDON
It’s important to support artists. Without you, life would have no meaning. All the emotions inside us would never be expressed. We’d be like machines.
