Special thanks to Johnny Cadillac for the inspiration

 

This show was created in November 2021 at Théâtre de la Balsamine.

According to Johnny Cadillac, a former Belgian karateka, « 3/4 face » is The ultimate defensive position! The choreographer and performer Loraine Dambermont makes this principle her own and, through a live tutorial, reveals her best self-defense secret skills.

Toujours de 3⁄4 face! is a 20 minute hyper energetic solo performed as a survival guide with hints of humour. Loraine Dambermont also tackles the complex Belgian identity through mouvements all directed towards the paroxysm of self-mockery.

This performance challenges the physical and mental virtuosity of the performer by pushing the limits of a constrained body between a marathon of hyper fast movements, and the extreme precision of its own musicality.

Both the project and the result obtained are part of surrealism
– Belgian surrealism, of course.
