BSTRD

With only a record player as her stage partner, Katerina Andreou, a Greek artist based in France, challenges the boundary between autonomy and authority, conditioning and free will, which already underlay the solo A Kind of Fierce, the winner of the 2016 Jardin d’Europe prize. She is interested in house music and dance – from New York and Chicago in the 1980s – as practices of métissage, developed by people of different origins and using different techniques, dancing together to the same music. The need to belong versus the search for identity. Far from any idealization of purity, everything is nothing but an assemblage of diversities.
