Since 2024, the duo has been engaged in an aesthetic and performative exploration of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder often shortened to ADHD. Inseparable from our general relationship to attention, technology plays an increasingly central role in their research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Their ever-mutable project cascades between audience-meeting opportunities and intensive periods of creation, at the pace of the support it finds. DEMERDRY&#8217;s core creative duo is in turn visited by collaborators, audiences and mentors; on stage, questions multiply, answers unfold, and chaos is transmuted.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mgilfnqj-7ae00f11cf5c81712c775b11c20fa52c '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock ls-artiste-liens'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>\u00c8ve\u00a0 <a class=\"ls-artiste-lien ls-artiste-siteweb\" href=\"http:\/\/paslacomedienne.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a><a class=\"ls-artiste-lien ls-artiste-instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paslacomedienne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0 Instagram<\/a><br \/>\nHarry \u00a0<a class=\"ls-artiste-lien ls-artiste-siteweb\" href=\"http:\/\/harrydemers.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a><a class=\"ls-artiste-lien ls-artiste-instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_demerde\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0 Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/main><!-- close content main element --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_2'  class='avia-section av-8hwo0p-a646fe8fbee47b4637388702181df12a main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-7001'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mgilghl6-8f7255eacb7ba4ccd0959d25a84ebf6d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock ls-font-100'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 class=\"center\">TDAH (working title)<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div class='flex_column_table av-7clts9-cb6bffd7297be02e57ce27c0fd295dcf sc-av_one_full av-equal-height-column-flextable'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-7clts9-cb6bffd7297be02e57ce27c0fd295dcf\">\n.flex_column.av-7clts9-cb6bffd7297be02e57ce27c0fd295dcf{\nwidth:100%;\nmargin-left:0;\n}\n#top .flex_column_table.av-equal-height-column-flextable.av-7clts9-cb6bffd7297be02e57ce27c0fd295dcf .av-flex-placeholder{\nwidth:0%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-7clts9-cb6bffd7297be02e57ce27c0fd295dcf av_one_full  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_full  ls-font-28 first flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mgilhtya-569e34d78b22e766157de465f07d731f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock ls-deux-colonnes-suivi'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a pseudo-documentary approach, Harry and their experience of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) become the subject of the project\u2019s inquiry.

The project draws on a tentacular, ever-evolving writing practice and a DIY ethos. Programming errors, glitches, and onstage accidents become raw material. Through overlapping soundscapes, video projections, textiles, movement, and magical effects, the show builds a teeming landscape where obsession and ingenuity meet sensory sensitivities and hyperactivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
