[TEASER] - COUP DE GRÂCE
Quand certains dansent, d’autres tuent
In a landscape confounded by the news of mass violence, iconoclastic destruction and profound upheavals, COUP DE GRÂCE explores the ambivalent appropriation and semantic fragmentation of the word “grace.” We’re betting on the scenic force of a collection of incompatible images and gestures that evoke the paths taken to reach this sublime state. On stage, a three-dimensional study in lasciviousness is associated with the gestural and spatial repercussions of feelings and actions related to terror: panic, fear, frantic escape, indecisive wavering and collapse.
Apart from the acrimoniousness and the energy generated by the idea of violence, the poetic references and resources notably include: the impervious face of The Mona Lisa, the double personality in romantic dance, the martyr figure in religious painting, The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch, the progressive rock of Pink Floyd, as well as the lyrical attraction of the moon.
As we helplessly witness the conflicts that humanity is now experiencing, Michel Kelemenis reconsiders one of his most haunting questions: can grace arise from disgrace?
