DÉGORGER À BASSE PRESSION is a performance in which self-denial, acedia, silence, cold and the quest for raw physicality are explored.

Through this performance combining bodily and sensory experimentation, performers Fabio Deronzier, Tristan Robquin, Maxime Blériot and Renyan Liu explore extreme sensations, exposing their approach to a witnessing audience. To do this, they also surround themselves with protagonists from outside the art world, linked by this same search for meaning, creating a raw, radical experience.

In a world often perceived as anesthetized, numb, how can we still access authentic, intense emotions?

The protagonists seek to overcome this feeling of numbness by creating a limitless space where they can reconnect with their ability to feel without aesthetic or moral restraint.

Fabio Deronzier and Tristan Robquin form a high-voltage performance duo built around experimentation, where visual and performing arts meet to better challenge their physical and artistic limits.

This show is intended for an adult audience, informed and curious about experimental and non-linear art forms.

Tristan Robquin

Artist / Performer / Dancer

The son of a dancer mother and a musician father, Tristan Robquin grew up in the world of art and movement.

After practicing several disciplines such as contemporary dance, ballet, hip-hop and acrobatics, he devoted himself to the circus arts. At the École Nationale de Cirque de Montréal, he met Peter James, a leading figure in Montreal performance and experimental art, who took him under his wing and made him his disciple. In line with his teachings, Tristan Robquin develops a circo-performative aesthetic in which the body and its raw movement are at the center of his approach.

Today, six years after the start of his initiation, he is trying to distance himself from the artistic legacy he has received in order to develop new aesthetics, new lines of research and new conceptions. This is why he is seeking to establish a collaboration with the world of visual art, which could be the origin of a new form of his practice. Tristan Robquin is at that pivotal post-initiation period when he seeks to break out of Art by Art.

His entry into the performative field is closely linked to Fabio Deronzier (artist, performer, set designer), with whom he has been working since 2015 in the form of videos, performances and curations around aesthetic experience where the word experience is taken, Roland Barthes would have said, to “degree zero”. Together, they work on forms of representation that can be defined as radical, experimental performance, on the border of the extreme, mainly on the limits of the performing body and the shortening of distances between the arts and civil life. An aesthetic that, unlike great cinematic special effects, seeks to create evanescent micro-events that exacerbate the tension of expectation in the spectator. This means of performance implies privileging the perception of physical, optical, sonic and olfactory phenomena over the refocusing and fragmentation of time. Conceived as a momentary, mobile and changeable arrangement, their performances are almost always at the limit of what is possible for their bodies and their role as artists.


With Fabio Deronzier, he forms a high-voltage performance duo built around experimentation, where visual and performing arts meet to better challenge their physical and artistic limits.

Their new creation Disgorging at low pressure premieres on April 10, 2025 at Le Générateur.

Artist / Performer / Set Designer

Born in 1996, Fabio Deronzier lives and works in Paris.

Plastic artist, performer, video artist, his practice is also accompanied by curatorial work around so-called radical performance.

Although he works increasingly with performative forms, it’s clear that he thinks like a visual artist and that painting remains a guiding line in his practice through its meticulous approach, constraints and structural dimension. The practice of stock-shot among his preferred forms, enables him to delve into the question of difference and cleavage, between expectation and narrative, between the single and the multiple, to create moments of confusion or duplication, with no other denouement than the real represented as the final work. Like a ghostly weft, the political and aesthetic stakes of his productions consist in twisting to the maximum the filming and construction capacities of an image to reveal another image itself staggered by its losses, its voids, its accidental exits. All his videos and decisions thus become fragments of situations carried to their maximum amplitude.

His performance work has been presented in duos and groups at the Nef de Pantin (2023), especially within the Nux Vomica program of which he is the founder. He was invited by Le Générateur to perform as a duo with Tristan Robquin at the 11th edition of Pile ou Frasq (March 2023). He presented the show Nail Polish and Ecological Drama as part of the program for the Nouvoitout festival in Brittany (2022). Inscribed in a period of reflection around performative work, its place and involvement as actor and/or curator, he was able to work on this questioning in the European residencies of Performing Arts Forum in Saint Erme (2022), in the committed performative residency center Massia in Estonia (2022) and at Krušče Creative Center in Slovenia (2023).

His entry into the performative field is closely linked to the artistic career of Tristan Robquin (artist, performer), with whom he has been working since 2015 in the form of videos, performances and curations around aesthetic experience where the word experience is taken, Roland Barthes would have said, to “degree zero”.

Maxime Blériot

Artist / Performer / Dancer

The beginnings of Maxime Blériot’s artistic identity take place in Montreal. During his training at the École Nationale de Cirque de Montréal, he discovered performance art through Peter James, who shared his teachings with him. It was on the basis of these that he began working on a form of his own, situated between the body and the object. A practice in which self-expression is brought to light by the plastic object on the periphery: an encounter at the very heart of sensation.

At each performance he attempts to redefine the performative space he embodies; at the twilight of an art as we know it, at the dawn of a green art to which he tends and which does not yet exist.

Like a dog returning to its vomit, he likes to think of his practice as a Caput-Mortuum: a chemical term that defines a residue of operations from which no benefit was thought possible. It is with the boldest of fists and the most delicate of fingers that he experiments as authentically as possible with this breach of art; the result of a concentrated outpouring of life.

At Le Générateur, Maxime Blériot performs in the new creation Dégorger à basse pression by artist-performer duo Tristan Robquin & Fabio Deronzier, premiering on April 10, 2025.
