La trilogie de la chair

Documentary on the production ‘La Trilogie de la Chair’, a triptych created by Claude Brumachon and Benjamin Lamarche, composed of ‘D’Indicibles Violences’ (first part) and ‘Un Bruissement de Volonté’ (second part).

“This trilogie de la chair (trilogy of flesh) offers an opportunity to summarise all these gestures developed over the past twenty years.” The first piece is entitled D’indicibles violences. A work for eight male dancers, without gimmicks or costumes. “It is an archaic and tribal piece, in which the dancers experiment with a dance that returns them to the natural state. I enjoyed myself with the title, as people say that my dance is violent. I wanted to give meaning to that. Lively, human, extreme, all these words are danced…”. In this archaic writing, music and light play a role in their own right. “I hadn’t worked with a composer for twelve years. Christophe Zurfluh created the musics for several of our creations. In this case, his contribution is considerable. He composes as closely as possible to the dancers.”

The second piece, Un bruissement de volupté, “is more social and codified than the first”. It is an evocation of sensual pleasures, of the exaltation of the flesh and of its temptations. Jerks, convulsions, caresses, the 13 dancers let their body and their skin speak to deliver us a pictorial composition inspired by the masters of the Italian Renaissance and the 18th century.
