Davy Pieters selected for La Biennale di Venezia

Two striking performances by Davy Pieters, How did I die and The Unpleasant Surprise, have been selected for the theater programming of the Venice Biennale. The productions will be shown on July 27, 2018 (How did I die) and on July 29, 2018 (The Unpleasant Surprise).

The Unpleasant Surprise is a visual and physical performance that confronts us with the suffering of others, which comes to us daily through a stream of images, and explores what that way of viewing does to people. How did I die is a reconstruction of a murder, a realistically fictional performance about the question of how ‘truth’ is constructed and what influence it has. It is a physical and cinematic performance that mostly takes place in reverse.
