Une pièce mécanique
Recorded at the CND 24 January 2009
“(…) There are diagonals, unisons, guns, stretching metal springs, sliding boxes and pistons, suddenly appearing screws and dowels, turns, and turning cogwheels. Time is counted, a precise mechanism is set in motion and let loose. It’s about disrupting the performance by confronting the dancers with movements which never seem to want to stop.
It is a story of presence, the presence of two dancers, Alexandre Da Silva and Simon Nemeth, and of a mechanical corps de ballet. Original scenic sculptures, conceived by the visual artist Dominique Blais, create a dance of materials. These objects, given sound by Damien Mingus, are crafty. But this poetic machinery is a human story: a smile, a fall or an inclination can lead it astray.”
Geisha Fontaine and Pierre Cottreau
