Introductory

Dogs is a plastic and musical installation revolving around the French Bukkake case, a notorious trial on sexual abuse in the porn field. With several Bach cantatas as a starting point, director Lorraine de Sagazan blends the sacred repertoire with the crude words uttered during such scenes – which are not shown visually. With singing as a sublimation of the cry, this focus on violence is a rallying one, beyond the piece’s documentary aspects. Dogs is performed by a chorus and the musicians of the Miroirs Étendus ensemble.
