“Idiots” is a work of concretism in strive towards poetry, an attempt to discipline oneself seriously towards practices that might seem idiotic. Allison Ahl and Sebastian Lingserius are trying to “become” the action of objects that they put into motion. It´s a virtual and actual game without reference to the meaning of actions as logic or narration. An attempt towards becoming present through following the flight of objects, games and exhaustion. It´s concrete in regards to the task, but multilayered because the aim to join the analysis of movement with precise execution. The objects serves as vehicles, lines of flight in researching oneself and ones experience with risk, physical presence and transformation.

“Idiots” deals with with everyday object in relation to their movements and qualities rather than our understanding of their function. The piece sees the objects as things. Things that are more than the reduction that language makes them. It´s performed with an interest of their texture, their choreographic qualities, their sound, their way of guiding us as dancers. In the same way the body is treated as a thing, making the movements for the audience at times violent as well as funny or banal. For the performers this is left without comment, without any type of production of meaning The performers strive on with their attempts rather than contemplating on the meaning it might have created for the audience.

The piece changes every time it´s performed as the objects and games never move in a exact or repeated manner. This creates a situation where Allison and Sebastian needs to constantly adapt, move quickly and throw themselves into discovering the very moment of movement.

"Idiots" tries to look at discipline not only as a formal hierarchic power structure, but a way to find the will to experience the body as it creates itself in a situation of change. Pushing oneself in to intensity with the help of objects, the body of the other, with sound and exhaustion.
