Bob Ostertag & Pierre Hébert (USA/Québec)  |  
Between Science & Garbage

"an improvised animated movie with soundtrack, live on stage, using garbage. Lots and lots of garbage."

Ostertag and Hébert perform an improvised animated movie with soundtrack, live on stage, using garbage. Lots and lots of garbage. Hébert creates images by painting on glass, drawing on chalkboard and paper, blowing dust on mirrors, and manipulating piles of garbage and more. Ostertag records the sound of the garbage and manipulates it by drawing shapes on a digital drawing tablet. 

The work does not celebrate technology but questions it and its relation to the bodies of performers, the world around us and, of course, garbage. Ostertag and Hébert are very aware that today's cutting edge technology is tomorrow's garbage. In this unique work, this paradox is not banished to the shadows as an unspoken embarrassment but is rather the starting point of the entire project.
