Moda Povera V: les vêtements de Renée
Estimated running time: 45'
This performance, the most recent one in Olivier Saillard's repertoire, is presented in the Teatro di Triennale. Using the ordinary wardrobe of his mother, who died two years ago, Olivier Saillard uses haute couture techniques to cut up and transform her clothes. Ordinary shirts are transformed into exceptional dresses using his knowledge of fashion history and know-how. Yet they retain the vulnerability of the person who wore them. Model Axelle Doué, in a subtle and refined exercise where undressing becomes a choreography of intimacy, gracefully serves up this infinitely personal wardrobe.
