Performers and life-sized dolls – living creatures and inanimate objects – come together in Gisèle Vienne’s and Étienne Bideau-Rey’s dance-theatre performance “Showroomdummies #4”. Taking the social construction of femininity and our embodied understanding of it as its point of departure, the choreographic study explores the culturally built-up identities and how they influence power structures in human relations.
