Le Fil

What is this thread that Sylvain Prunenec pulls and unrolls to evoke his  career as a performer? Is it an Ariadne’s thread, with a secret  rationale, which will link together the movements he has crossed over?  The thread of a tightrope walker, whose body can be seen in an  imbalance, suspended above the void? Or is it a thread that is always on  the edge – of a revelation, or a fall? Whatever meaning is attributed  to it, there is a question of bonds, weaving – whose horizon is perhaps  less the bringing out of a design than the step-by-step following of the  elaboration of motifs. During a spoken-danced narrative, Sylvain  Prunenec, who has performed for Odile Duboc, Dominique Bagouet, Trisha  Brown or else Deborah Hay, takes a tender, lucid view of the production  of dance. By exhibiting a body open to an awareness of its own  genealogy, he raises the veil on the multiplicity which is expressed  through the performer’s body, and humorously reveals the hesitations,  élans, chances – everything that the audience does not see but which are  living, vibrant parts of choreographic creation.
