Compagnie Catherine Gaudet

Compagnie Catherine Gaudet in  on elusive reality, pursuing an interest in the imperceptible,  presenting the body as a place of resonance for contradictory sensations  percolating beneath the surface. She creates a universe of endlessly  fluctuating metamorphoses where characters, doomed to perpetual  mutation, make visible a dizzying descent deep into the self. Ever  emerging and evolving, they embrace and meld together only to then break  apart, disturbing the very space they are shaping and escaping from.  Under the spectator’s gaze identity becomes multi-layered as it  proliferates, dissipates and reappears. Strange yet familiar, these  ambiguous bodies evoke the sinuous trajectory of being in the world.

Onstage,  the performers rise to the challenge of incessantly reconstructing a  finely crafted  choreographic composition. Combining raw movement with  extreme control over form, they present a performative dance where the  body is both receiver and transmitter of subconscious, invisible forces.  Plunged into infinite variations of muscular tensions that reveal a  jumble of interconnected impulses and urges, moods and ideas, the  dancers portray a transformed and expanded reality that offers multiple  ways of perceiving life and the living.
