Cankarjev dom For Young People and Schools Olivier de Sagazan: Transfiguration

Olivier de Sagazan, a biologist by training, began painting and sculpting with the pervasive idea of questioning organic life. His passion for breathing life into matter gave him the idea of covering his body with clay in order to observe the emerging "object". This experiment resulted in Transfiguration, a solo in which we see the transformation of a man. On stage, the created mutant, half man half monster, starts looking for its own true identity under the masks. The performance takes us on a fascinating journey into the uncanny soul of the artist. It produces a visually rich experience that gives new meaning to life and offers a mesmerizing, occasionally disturbing and exciting insight into an alternative self-image that is completely uninhibited.
