Huis Clos
Huis Clos (2006) created by Franken Beaumont
'Each person is a person, each performance is
a performance, each plant pot is a plant pot.'
When does art become art and when does art become a part of everyday life? Huis Clos (2006) explored 3 trapped soles in hell, while visitors watch their every move. The durational performance of those performing and those watching begin to define at performance is and how we can decide what installation is.
This is a performance with no performers, created by watching it. Garcin, Inez and Estelle (the plant pots) take their instructions from you. But, did it really happen?
"It's a piece of work not to be missed."
