Let You Guide Me came to fruition at the exposition of Leo De Beul’s paintings. He’s a painter and works for Peeping Tom as its oldest performer.
I starts out as a conventional museum-guide providing objective information while it slowly shifts towards something twisted with pauses that take way too long, a body that doesn’t always co-operate and stories/information about the paintings that seem out of place.
I let the space guide my body and interact with the reactions of the visitors, those reactions either being vocal or through body language.
Creation and performance: Brandon Lagaert
Let you guide me premiered on April 30th 2016 at Huis Hellemans
It has since seen multiple variations and re-iterations in different settings:
- The solo was performed for Arte France as part of a documentary on the life of Marcel Marceau.
- An adaptation of the solo was performed on the Waking Life festival.
