House Guests

In the Fall of 2017, in the context of its 20th anniversary, CORPUS presented House Guests, an adventurous site-specific creation that took place in the company’s artistic director’s own house.

House Guests invited 20 guests to discover the mysterious and enchanting content of 8, Baden Street. Remodeled as a museum of contemporary performances, this private dwelling features fourteen spaces ranging from a bedroom to a parking spot, all transformed with dance, Theatre of the Absurd and performative installations.

House Guests treated its audience to an incomparable public experience in a private space.

“House Guests thematic stew is rich and elusive. It is fascinating to snoop through someone else’s home and psyche, and when it reveals ghosts, childhood games, fairy tales, dreams, voyeurism, drag and dress-up, and the power of the gaze, there is a lot to process and ponder.”
