Between Pastoral Satire
and Bestiary Dream
In the piece GOATS by French/Luxembourgian duo Sarah Baltzinger + Isaiah Wilson, the performers are immersed in a hallucinatory world, in between pastoral satire and bestiary dream. GOATS unfolds in an absurd, Kafkaesque universe, where Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy of «becoming-animal» serves as a lens to explore contemporary alienation. On stage, the performers embody hybrid beings—half-human, half-goat—reflecting a world in which they can no longer find their place. Their only escape lies in metamorphosis, a shift toward animality that unveils humanity’s desperate search for relief from the relentless cruelty of its surroundings.
This journey takes place within a scenography that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. A surreal landscape of grass dominates the stage, evoking a pastoral kingdom both idyllic and oppressive. It is a space suspended between the sacred and the playful, where the rules of ritual and the discipline of games intersect. Viewers are left to wonder: is this a prison, a human zoo, a stadium, or a fantastical world ? This ambiguity underscores the disciplinary nature of the space, which confines the performers within its surreal boundaries while shaping their identities and actions.
