JAILBREAK MIND excerpt

Fabien Prioville moves in a dark and sinister world - a tormented figure,
who must face his inner struggles and fight them alone. As a prisoner
looking for an escape route, the dancer is actually integrated into the video
background, up to the moment when his pent-up emotions are vented. The
starting point for Prioville's solo piece was his research into the reports of
a Japanese youth, who arbitrarily killed a group of people with a knife. In
collaboration with the sound and media artist Frank Schulte, and with the
VJ Uli Sigg, Fabien Prioville is searching for a language, which, on one level,
is purely abstract and, on another, richly sensual. Brutal scenes of violence
from the world of virtual reality video games are presented. Sometimes
the artist observes from the outside, and sometimes he seems to be
integrated into the action. JAILBREAK MIND enables the audience to get a
glimpse into the contrary emotional world of the perpetrator. Fabien Prioville
develops his dance style using the themes of emotional reticence and
interaction with the digital dream world.
