Allege started life as quartet then became a duet and is now a solo. In it, Clément Layes wobbles a glass of water from the side of his head to his forehead in a very accomplished fashion. However, these impressive and unusual skills are more than circus tricks and what started out as a work about the anxiety he feels towards the world has developed into a humorous philosophical treatise on habit and expectation.
Public in Private produces the work of Clément Layes and Jasna Layes-Vinovrski; it researches, reflects and questions social, political and cultural ideas.
