Mandarin Ducks

Mandarin Ducks could be defined as a "black comedy" in which the artists comment on the neo-liberal climate of Western society at the beginning of the 21st century. In a succession of tableau-like scenes, we follow the twists and turns in the relations of ten individuals gathered in an apartment on a warm Sunday evening. In a stylized and fragmentary story that unfolds via monologues and dialogues charged with repressed hostility or unconcealed jealousy and bitterness, the artists explore the areas of tension between people, in particular those domains where social and political conflicts find their reflection in the personal.
