Mauvais genre
How can you create a community out of solitude? From an idiom invented alone, using the inflections of a shared language, constructing the future of a collective event? In 2005, as an extension of Good Boy…, Alain Buffard set the character to work again, expanding him by increasing the number of singularities. Made up of a choreographic fugue whose performers – men and women – form the counterpoints, Mauvais genre creates a landscape of contrasts and echoes: an architectonics of the body spread out in space, between which the gaze shifts – gauging the gaps, the repetitions, the modes of appropriation specific to the material.
The tools forged for the solo are redistributed according to new fault lines, torn from their original matrix to be recalibrated, rendered permeable to other artistic and political actions. Far from an army of clones, the group reveals an archipelago of solitudes; each dancer, from his own questionings, reappropriates the objects of Good Boy, metabolises them and puts them back into circulation, in an endless movement of exploration and transmission.
