ABOUT DESIRES & DEATH

Incorruptible Flesh, 2007
Ron Athey

"Life has always taken place in a tumult without apparent cohesion, but it only finds its grandeur and its reality in ecstasy and in ecstatic love."

"Man goes constantly in fear of himself. His erotic urges terrify him."
Georges Bataille


Ron Athey continues to explore the relationships between death and desire, sexuality and politics. After the incredible performance at Nancy (Self Obliteration : Double Bill with Dominic Johnson. Read the french review by Marie Lechner, Liberation, HERE) during Souterrain Porte IV Festival, this amazing modern queer shaman will offer us a new part ov 'Ecstatic' performances' serie at the Abode Of Chaos (Lyon) invited by Thierry Ehrmann, the 13th october.
