Antoine Defoort tries to maintain a good atmosphere and a high level of porosity between his seasonal whims, life, as in real life, and contemporary art. He therefore often finds himself struggling with blatant contradictions that are either proudly assumed or shamefully hidden through the use of mind numbing non-sequiturs and wild digressions. Failures and accidents are welcomed with open arms and create a crispy granularity particularly appreciated by connoisseurs.
Halory Goerger makes shows and installations instead of building houses or repairing animals because it’s better like that for everybody. He works on the history of ideas, because everything else was already taken by the time he came along. In most his undertakings, total destitution flirts with formal rigour, and a concern for getting out alive. Together, Julien Fournet, Antoine Defoort and Halory Goerger have co-founded l’amicale de production, a small production house in Lille / Brussels (France / Belgium)

Sinopsis
What if we could start from scratch? To open its program on utopia, Teatro Maria Matos presents a performance that marked Alkantara Festival 2014. In Germinal, we witness the birth of a new world and all that it implies: the invention of language, the development of knowledge, the construction of a community, the creation of history itself. With a subversive humour, Goerger e Defoort play around with utopia to dissect the state of the world and the way it functions.
