For the exhibition “Dansons Maintenant! » (April – June 2011) on Antoine Tempé’ dance photographies, Fondation Zinsou has invited the French choreographer Marceline Lartigue, settled in Benin as part of a research work on ritual dances, to create a piece destined to perform outdoors, in the middle of the Exhibition space.
It is a danced “portrait” of the Beninese dancer Marcel Gbeffa in the form of a snapshot, choreographed around a movement fixed by the film, where past and future merge in the captured moment. Reflections of intimate events or historical events. The study of photos by photojournalist Goran Tomasevic inspires this dance.
Performed outdoor on Saturday 21 May 2011, at the Champ de Foire, Cotonou.
