A minimal setting focuses the attention on the artist, alone on the stage, with clay as the only material. Under the eyes of the spectator a new face is moulded, an identity is formed and deformed: an office worker without a history, in spasmodic search of his true identity, is transformed assuming monstrous features and revealing his hidden side. This enthusiasm for decomposition also hints at the artist&#8217;s fundamental need to remove the taboos of this sort of &#8220;Holy Face&#8221; in order to return to a simple &#8220;head of butchered meat&#8221;, as Deleuze said about the figures painted by Francis Bacon. Fascinated by this performance, director Ron Fricke, author of <em>Baraka<\/em> and director of photography of <em>Koyaanisqatsi<\/em>, included it in his latest film <em>Samsara<\/em> as a revealing element of a society oscillating towards other social paradigms.<\/p>\n<p>\n<em>TRANSFIGURATION<\/em> by and with Olivier de Sagazan<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>SUN 20.10.2013 | 17.30 | 20.30<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>STUDIO FOCE \u2013 LUGANO<\/p>\n<p>interview <\/strong>Olivier de Sagazan on his performance <em>Transfiguration<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TRANSFIGURATION OLIVIER DE SAGAZAN (FR\/RCB) &nbsp; The human face\u00a0hasn&#8217;t\u00a0yet found\u00a0the\u00a0face\u00a0and that it&#8217;s\u00a0up\u00a0to the\u00a0painter to give it it (Antonin Artaud).
