Chakra Gang Bang was a durational, site-specific performance, created to occupy the seven shelters underneath the Arsenic (Centre d’art scénique contemporain) building in Lausanne. The audience was invited to join and rejoin a circular route through seven rooms and become a witness or active participant in seven snapshots of contemporary living.

Performance × 2018 × with Gregory Stauffer
The work drew inspiration from the seven chakras, an ancestral system of energy centers situated along the spine, which are connected to different human sensibilities and desires. The theoretical essence of each chakra was translated into an equivalent contemporary phenomenon: security, porn, working out, coaching, communication, success, and immortality.
The first six rooms were set up as immersive environments and allowed for various kinds of interaction between performers and visitors. The seventh room featured a silent video projection showing a one-take choreography of special effects.
