Lumière du vide [transmission 2017]
Extrait remonté par la compagnie Équinoxe (La Rochelle), responsable artistique Lucie Robier, dans le cadre de Danse en amateur et répertoire (2016)
An extract remodelled by the company Équinoxe (La Rochelle), artistic manager Lucie Robier, as part of the “Danse en amateur et repertoire” programme (2016) (a programme created to assist and promote amateur dancing).
The group
Under the leadership of Lucie Robier, the company is made up of a dozen amateur performers hailing from a variety of artistic backgrounds. It deploys its activities in the studio but also in situ, in the street, in exhibition galleries, media libraries, etc. Passionate about improvisation, in 2013 the interpreters collaborated with the choreographer Dominique Petit, and worked on Odile Duboc in 2015. The group has been based in La Rochelle since it was set up in 2010.
The project
Wishing to promote the discovery of the unique work of Ingeborg Liptay, an artist little known in France, Équinoxe chose the piece Lumière du vide (2010), in which Liptay plunged into the metal music of the American group Tool. Alongside this passion for rock, the aim was also to delve into the deep muscle structure required by dance and the intimate fine emotions, by bringing together thoughts of oneself and of the world into the same momentum and space. The show extract was entrusted to the group’s dancers by Agnès de Lagausie, Ingeborg Liptay’s assistant and interpreter.
The choreographer
Based in France since the 1960s, the German dancer and choreographer Ingeborg Liptay, aged 82, has given a sound foundation to her many apprenticeships (classical, German Expressionism, Martha Graham, Alvin Ailey, etc.) through her free spirit deeply rooted in an intimate relationship with music, all musics. Her dance gushes forth soundly on its foundations, porous through its attentiveness, substantial in its engagement of the entire being in motion. In 1972, Ingeborg Liptay, teaming up with the American pianist Morton Potash, opened a dance studio in Montpellier where she still teaches.
