Pauline Peyrade, Les Solitaires intempestifs

A window opens. A video. An ad. A newsflash. The phone rings. Adèle worries. "Did you take your medicine? Laurent grows impatient. "Do you want me to come up?" A window opens. Photos of Pierre. Pierre interviews. Memories of Pierre. A window opens. On Ida's love. On her memory. On her impulses. On her obsessions. On a past locked in the present of a computer screen. The time of a night. The time for a crisis, or perhaps an escape.

Pauline Peyrade's piece is based on a dramaturgy borrowed from the way we surf the Internet: successive opening of windows, switching from one content to another, from a private conversation to a newspaper article, from video content to a musical recording... At first glance, Ctrl X is a piece that could be described as technological. We perceive it as an innovative algorithm waiting for a machine capable of running it at full speed. This is the power of writing, insofar as it requires little technology. What about its transposition to the stage? Is it possible to render Ctrl X's elaborate system without resorting to heavy technology? If this question seems technical, it's because Ctrl X is definitely not a piece like any other. Continuing this pattern of successive links, it reveals an infinite space where all the echoes of the world can collide. In this way, Ctrl X poses a real question for us as creators. It questions our ability to strip a system bare and bring life into it, without compromising the vitality of the system itself.
