Gargoyles  (Tee Hee Ha Ha Heh Heh)
2025

performance in three acts of 10 mins each

Jan van Eyck Academie Open Studios, Maastricht






Gargoyles is an ongoing project that characterises different masculine archetypes in relation to laughter.  These were expaned upon in three semi-improvisational performances that took place at Jan van Eyck open studios 2025. The three characters: The Boss, The Lad and The Friend, exhibit both insecurities and implicit and explicit violence and threat. What links them is the act of laughter itself, how it relates to power and control. We never really know where we are­—where the characters end and the artist begins, whether we are watching stand up or a confessional.
