Angélique Aubrit & Ludovic Beillard

A ruined banker, a twelve-year-old vagrant, and three weasels sit in adjacent office rooms and talk. Capitalism has ended, money plays no role anymore, and artificial intelligence controls everything, but the banker still wants to save the system. Angélique Aubrit & Ludovic Beillard’s protagonists—larger-than-life puppets—are constant companions in their work. The duo builds environments for them and activates the puppets in burlesque, absurdist narratives scripted as one ongoing film-in-progress. Their characters represent minorities often stuck in impossible communicative situations, thus reflecting the relations of domination and (dis)order at work today.
