Stuart, Lachambre and Rowe all have their roots in the East Village scene in the New York of the mid-80s. They also collaborated in Meg Stuart’s No Longer Readymade (1993) and in the improvisation projects Crash LandingNot to Know (2002). Hahn Rowe and Benoît Lachambre received the 2006 Bessie Award in New York for their part in FORGERIES, LOVE AND OTHER MATTERS.

In this rewarded production the two characters on stage are initially difficult to comprehend. Are they campers, tramps, friends or lovers, humans or animals? Meg Stuart and Benoît Lachambre are speleologists who investigate the underground landscapes of the body and the geography of our relationships with one another and our environment.

As in all Stuart’s work, relationships play a central role; as do the alienation of one’s own body and of all contact with the outside world. According to De Standaard, FORGERIES, LOVE AND OTHER MATTERS is about a modern feeling of being utterly lost; about a world that no longer recognises itself and convulsively tries to rebuild itself from clichés. Somewhere between love, life, despair and death.’
