Simone Aughterlony & Jorge León

Discipline and authority have been topics running like a thread through the works of the choreographer and dancer Simone Aughterlony. For her latest work, she has again teamed up with the film maker Jorge León, with whom she realised «To serve», a well-received production on modern forms of serfdom. In «Uni * Form» the duo takes to task the police as a normative and controlling authority. Together with a cast of excellent performers, they subtly turn the tables: surrounded and scrutinized by the audience, the uniformed performers do their «police work». Between the observers and the actors a cunning and complex game, centred on power and possession, evolves. It gradually becomes less and less obvious as to who the goodies and baddies are. (esc)
