Hydre

Hydre at the LAM in june 2017 in the frame of the festival Les Latitudes Contemporaines. 

Yuval Pick sculpts time and space with such sensitivity and density that he renders it nearly material. With his fascination with the information contained in the body, the architecture of spaces and creating dialogues with acoustic materials, it seems almost a given that he would now be planning to confront his dancing with different spaces and venues. 

Creation 2016 for 5 dancers

Intent

Hydra invites the public to participate in a collective experience, a ritual for a community of our time.

Yuval Pick makes time and space so dense you can feel them. His fascination with the energy coming from moving bodies, how spaces are shaped and how they interact with sound materials has led him to create a project for site-specific venues (museums, monasteries, abbeys, and public areas).

In 2016, he premiered Hydra in partnership with the French National Monuments Center for the program “Monuments in Movement #2”.

Yuval Pick is interested in using movement and sound to reveal the memory held within a space and its architecture. He brings the venue’s various layers of time into interaction with the physical presence of the dancers and the audience. In this way, Hydra transforms every venue, giving rise to a new experience.

Hydra gives the audience a possibility to reorganize their perception of the venue’s space.
