Depending on your temper Sans Objet is a fight, a competition or a game between human and technology. The presenters are not more than acting bodies. The protagonist is the industrial robot from the 70s. In his Frankenstein-dream Aurélien Bory adds soul to the object. He deprives the commercial machine of its function and recreates it in the purposeless field of performing art.

Amongst all the logistics there is a vulnerability in Sans Objet that is hard to put your finger on. How can a robot, so clearly sterile, appear so vulnerable at times? As a human, I know I layer on this personification, so when it bows its “head” slowly I feel something. Speed, force and timing of movement all communicate a clear intention and personality, even from a robot.The tangible relationship between the trio is all at once based in curiosity, submission and possibility. The two dancers are just as in awe as we are.
