La Langue brisée (3)

Pauline L. Boulba’s project is focuses on the intersection of discursive, poetic and choreographic issues, such as the desire to link one’s position as spectator and researcher to the works that created it. After studying Two discussions of an anterior event by Jennifer Lacey and Rue by Volmir Cordeiro, her fragmentary language explores two works by Alain Buffard, playing with different ways or articulating language and the body: Dispositifs 3.1, an open work, using song, theory, cross-dressing, and My Lunch with Anna, an interview in the form of a digression with the American choreographer Anna Halprin.

Using registers of heterogeneous words, Pauline L. Boulba summons the original works as a support, drawing on their materials to articulate her voice, fashion her gesture; between imitation and anthropophagy, recycling and invention, she explores Dispositifs 3.1 and My Lunch with Anna, not in the manner of a ‘revival’ but rather as an all-terrain research. Navigating between floating temporalities, she roots about, delves deeper into words, creates physical and imaginary associations, and fabricates a fiction, of all the traces left in her by Alain Buffard’s transgressive bodies.
