Who is this other whose consciousness has been separated from his body, whose blood and teeth we fear? Sarah Chouinard-Poirier presents a new performance inspired by the imaginary of the zombie, where popular culture and situated knowledge meet. The artist interrogates the fear of the other, drawing on their community and activist work with people who use drugs.

Through humour, research and embodiment, Chouinard-Poirier attempts to bring into friction the biopolitical theories of the undead and social hygiene justifying the regulation of substances and bodies. The artist thus invites us to observe the separation between the human and the less-than-human.

This performance is presented in collaboration with the Centre d'art et de diffusion CLARK.
