UNTITLED_I will be there when you die
Recorded at the CND 14 November 2014
UNTITLED_I will be there when you die (2013) is a performative and choreographic meditation on the passing of time. It is a reflection on the art of manipulating objects with dexterity: juggling. In this new work, the Toss-Juggling evokes the fragility of the human existence. If Folk-s is a performance without eyes, composed by ear, following the rhythm, then I will be there when you die, presents itself as a work written with the eye. The stunt of the juggler is made of different types of tricks. The patterns that can be created are almost endless, owing to the combination between the physical variations (throws from under the leg, under the arm, above the head, etc.) and the chosen pattern. “Passing” is a mode of juggling with others. It’s the most important activity during the meeting with other jugglers. Two, threee, ten, twenty people can pass objects to each other, using tempos and rhytms that are now standarised all over the world.
The idea is to strip this circus art of the stereotypes that are usually associated to it and to explore it as a language, in its relation to different cultural contexts and to the international landscape. Practice, rule, discipline, commitment, concentration, are the basic elements of this work, forcing the interpreters to stay in the present time, without the possibility of going back, again and again and again.
