(H)Appy Logies

“(H)Appy Logies ....A breath of fresh air within the world of physical theatre.... alive, dynamic and visceral production! Working with (H)Appy Logies was a pure pleasure. Their level of professionalism and commitment to a project is outstanding and admirable. And we definitely intend to invite (H)Appy Logies to participate in future ACT ART events.”

Oliver Frost & Marc Massive – ACT ART curators

"Series of routines" was completely mesmerising to watch. It felt as if there was this really strong connection between the two performers and with the space, even when they would go for long periods without interacting or without even acknowledging each other. There was still this almost palpable sense of weight in the room, an electric charge between the two of them."

Theron Schmidt, artist and writer

"(H)Appy Logies are performers that break free from experimental theatre, into the realms of thought provoking and intense performance. Using their bodies as canvas, the performance duo took turns to paint on eachother's naked skin. The connection between them was visible and powerful to all, reflecting a ritualistic game of love and sensuousness between two women."

Anne Sellers - Curator

(H) are currently showing a durational, entirely improvised performance revolving around objects and their loss of meaning. This performance around routines, change of symbols in a daily life setting, and change through repetition is called "Series of routines" and has recently been performed in Paris and at the Shunt Vaults in London.

“Series of Routines” is entirely improvised around a few objects (flour, mirror, “fragile” tape, chairs) and a dancer who comes back to dance after a 16 year break. This piece reflects upon our daily lives, our daily routines and gestures that repeat themselves to the point of becoming a part of our automatic selves. Reclaiming the meaning of these objects by changing the nature of our bond to them allows us to create a different series of patterns and to modulate the symbol of those routines.

Future collaborations include a workshop and performance with italian director and performer Sabrina Marsili, winter 2008, in Lisbon and Paris. A series of short films with director Davide Novelli are also on the way!

"HOME, (provisory title for permanent foundations)" is a video project, an installation, and a performance. It explores the deconstruction of daily life routine and gestures, and investigates the tools that we were given to survive our daily domestic struggles.
HOME also aims at revealing the dark side of desire, compulsive behaviours, self obsession, and hysteria, and turns the mad woman from the attic into a masturbating, compulsive kitchen disaster.

"Body Signifier", is a performance investigating how feelings, emotions, and bonds between two people shape their bodies by projecting and printing a permanent trace on it, a testimony of a shared, silent moment. Different paths are created, mentally, physically, emotionally: paths and walks of desire and love, violence and possession, human transitions between reflexion, creation, and transformation. These leave a trace on the body. The trace is visible. It lingers.

(H)appy Logies also performed for Carina Diepens at the Beaconsfield Gallery, Shabnam Shabazy in Toynbee Studios, and as smoking suffragette for Lucy Panesar. Also appeared in the last Bobby Baker's video and David Rosenberg's new project about voyeurism, and worked on HOME with director Yurena A de Dios, and as a voice fo Ligia Soares' last performance.
