Allege

“Allege examines the possibility of an action that is not determined from the outside but is created from within itself. What can I do or not do to open up a field of undreamt-of possibilities?” —Clément Layes

Allege was born as a quartet, then it became a duet, and finally Clément Layes is alone on stage. Directing every music and lighting cue while balancing a glass of water on the back of his neck, Layes’ solo strives to make sense of everything that looks arbitrary—forcing meaning into order.
