(à) partir - Performance - 2017
présentée dans le cadre de l'exposition panorama 19
Performance
(à) partir brings together a group of individuals
around an everyday action: walking. A rather
peculiar walk nevertheless in that it does not
aim to reach a given place.
All that remains is dynamism, an élan, a “going
towards” and the opportunity as a group to enact
a live circulatory action.
This performance is comprised of a dizzying
visual experience in which three people driven
by a collective force are pursued by an
arrangement of lights into which they intrude
and through which they move. The tension set up
between the dancers’ bodies and the interactive
stage mechanism causes the programmed
activity of the lights to dysfunction. The space
draws tighter around their bodies, transforming
them until they seem to jettison their corporality
completely. Perspectives flip-flop and shortcircuit.
Disordered, our impressions unsettle our
sensations, increasing the perceptive confusion
into which the piece plunges us.
