Jean Ruggirello op IFFR
-
Lingua morta
Jean Ruggirello | 10' | France | World premiere
Ruggirello’s absurdist cross between cinema and sculpture is a slapstick comedy made with strange objects. -
Bruits de fond
Jean Ruggirello | 19' | France | World premiere
In this very unsettling performance, a man manages to destroy his interior, despite being limited in his movement.
