What do dancers become on aging, and what are all the experiences they  have had? On discovering the career of the dancer Frédéric Tavernini,  who had worked for Maurice Béjart, Mats Ek, Trisha Brown, William  Forsythe, or Angelin Prejlocaj, Noé Soulier wanted to draw up a portrait  of him: a personal history in which gestures express the works that had  been traversed – marking their accents, points and articulations.  Between perception and the signification of movement, Noé Soulier  pursues his work of deciphering dance by examining this time the  descriptive value of a gesture: can a dancer’s body expose a dance, show  it and narrate it, without executing it? As the questions proceed, the  gaze is led to reconstitute the memory of these dances, from the signs  they have left behind in the flesh of the performer. By following  Frédéric Tavernini step by step, Noé Soulier draws up a story revealing  the implicit discourse of movement.
