Oubliette is a performance event, a time warp taking place in the underground of an unfamiliar environment. The spectators’ bodies are immured in this unearthly, murky and viscous setting within a total memory lapse, incognizant of the context and the motives of their captivity. As the nuisance grows, the performer’s bodyvoice, amplified by the sonic activation of the space, unfolds the metanarrative by stimulating a retrospective, introspective and oneiric remembrance in the times and places of oblivion.
