PEOPLE WILL PEOPLE YOU - Steven Cohen (Lille / Johannesburg)

Steven Cohen is an artist who has a lot to tell us. From experience, from conviction and from the perspective of his complex cultural and artistic identity. The South African, who lives in France, is, without any exaggeration, one of the most exciting personalities on our stages. Two years ago, euro-scene Leipzig had the pleasure of experiencing him in PUT YOUR HEART UNDER YOUR FEET... AND WALK! as a Pierrot of extravagance, and as in all his performances, the body took center stage, both as a means of expression and as the subject of his pleas for tolerance and freedom. But now Cohen takes the floor and addresses the audience directly. In PEOPLE WILL PEOPLE YOU, the result is a direct, open and liberating exchange of ideas with this gentle humanist, which slowly dissolves the contrast between the performing artist and the watching audience. New forms of thought and action become imaginable and begin to fill a shared space. Cohen initiates a ritual that invites us to undertake a transformation together and to cross the boundary between art and everyday life. In a world that is increasingly slipping into virtual spaces, direct encounters offer precious opportunities to experience existence and resilience. PEOPLE WILL PEOPLE YOU is an act of liberation, a gift to the audience in Leipzig, who will be able to experience Cohen's transformation for the first time anywhere in the world.
