“Georges“ is a performative etude on the invisibility of the dead in our Western world. Using both dance and puppetry, Julika Mayer and Mylène Benoit explore whether and how one can succeed in welcoming the deceased’s presence. What if the dead supported us? Comforted us? What if they were just there, present, full of wit and humour?
