...Official statement… “
“Leviathan” is an observation, a scream of alarm and rage in the face of the modern political crisis that we know and suffer for the most part.The highly liberticidal government directives of the past three years lead to further reflection, to analyze state repressive forms and, in our opinion, first refuse them, then fight them.The neo-liberal ogre showed its face, a Leviathan, heralding the worst. The clip uses paraboles on this modern monster, with sometimes choppy movements, often hard to grasp, but whose plot is skilfully studied.The meeting between the hardness of the musical form and the modernity of the dance, the impact of the bio-technologies of control, the cold gaze of the machine faced with the emergency and the virulence of affirming our humanity are the ingredients put in this clip of Miss Dou, resolutely modern, artistic and committed.” (Vertex)
