The hotel of a dream, at the Théâtre de Vidy. It was Thom Luz, this extraordinary Zurich musician capable of turning a little fugue into a weather forecast for the soul, who imagined it – and it is his five wonderfully askew performers who welcome you. They offer you the vestiges of their days: three restaurant tables without their chandeliers with a drowned man’s balustrade as the only horizon. But then, the adagio of a guitarist with sunglasses stings your skin. The smooth needles of a rumba. You are on the threshold of Tourist Trap, the new creation of this night watchman by Thom Luz. He would like you to sleepwalk with him, you cannot resist him.
Thom Luz, 42, is an astronomer and spiritualist type. He turns the tables in the hope that a star sings. In Lausanne, as at the Comédie de Genève recently, its shows disrupt time zones to project you into a dimension which is that of a burlesque dream, fantastical and saturnine at the same time. Here and especially elsewhere. What grace. Tourist Trap unfolds on this rickety footbridge, on the edge of a precipice. We enjoy the void, because we cling to the railing – art also serves this purpose – and because we are well supported.
