Evidentia (évidence)
In this experimental film concocted by Sylvie Guillem itself, choreographers are dancers and filmmakers.
It is clear that Sylvie Guillem has not focused all her talent on the art of performing series of arabesques and grands jetés, even if the incredible curve of her foot regularly and mischievously appears on the screen. In this film, each artist proposes to clarify the paradox of dance films: “For the screen”, explains Mats Ek, “the aim is to produce an image that is an extension of movement, while on stage we work on the movement itself”. After Mouvement, an assembly of moments of dance and varying images – extract from a Buster Keaton film, slow motion animal races, Greek statue curvature, etc. -, Sylvie Guillem delivers the key to Evidentia : “We have always wanted to film dance, but here it’s just the contrary: we leave the film to dance”.
