Using conventional theatrical instruments – language, motion and music –
LE SALON by Peeping Tom is a truly unconventional performance which pushes the use of the body to the absolute limits.
The performers’ incredible expressiveness fascinates the audience and touches them in a truly existential way.They are individual, and unique, and yet in their distinctiveness they represent all people.
The jury members honoured the piece with a prize of EUR 10,000 as well as a Montblanc Max Reinhardt Pen, which has been especially designed for this occasion.
