GHOSTBUSTERS is a performance that explores our spectral relationship to memory, time and reality. Conceived with five physical, musical and/or vocal performers, the performance is inspired by the notion of hauntology  (imagined by philosopher Jacques Derrida and later developed by music critic Mark Fisher), which describes, among other things, the accumulation of ghostly traces of the past as we move into the future.
Steven Michel’s aim is to translate, choreographically and musically, the idea of survival and erasure, embodiment and disappearance, delay and anticipation.

Our ‘present’ moment is constantly being amused, disturbed, mocked and terrorized by memories, impressions and feelings of past events. Our ‘present’ moment is also being altered, assaulted, preoccupied,distorted and affected by future events or moments. We project the present into the past and hallucinate the future while believing we are looking at the present. We are never where we appear to be.

What do these ghosts say about us? Our spirits? Our beliefs? Our fears? Our rituals?
A hybrid form combining recording sessions, dance mania and vocal mantra, the performance GHOSTBUSTERS is a ghost in itself. It seeks to take shape in the bodies and voices of the performers, in the theatrical space and in the lived or unlived memory of the audience. It seeks hosts in order to express itself.
