About: A Duet Without You

Chloé Déchery – A Duet Without You

“Duet Without You” is a solo performance trying (and inevitably failing) to be a duet. Re-enacting a pas-de-deux without a partner, reading letters to an absent other or searching for ghosts, Chloé embarks on a series of intermittent conversations with friends. Beyond distance and despite absence, Chloé and her collaborators will try to experience what it means to be two and what can happen in-between.

Biography
Chloé Déchery is a French writer, performer and theatre-maker living and working in London since 2006. Déchery has been presenting lecture-performances, theatre shows, guided tours and site-specific performances in the UK in festivals and venues such as Arnolfini, mac, Mayfest festival, Pulse festival, Forest Fringe, the Junction, the BAC, Toynbee Studios, Soho Theatre, Shunt, Oval House, Siobhan Davies Space, but also internationally (Estonia, France). Her practice leans across disciplines of Live Art, experimental theatre and movement, questioning what is at the core of the live event. She is interested in playfully exploring the nature of the theatrical event and the relationship between the performer and the performed-to. Déchery’s main subject matters include communication and language issues, body and its representations, cultural identities and the way we constantly re-invent ourselves.
