co-pulation

Creation 2019 - 65 min.

3 dancers - 4 puppets - 1 km. of rope

 

The piece deals with the desire of absolute that leads or loses each person. Our body research uses different techniques of aerial dance and rope manipulations.

The dramaturgical composition is based on some writings of J-L. Borges who, through a literary search for authenticity, evoke vain artifices - mirrors, masks or copulation - to approach the idea of a reproduction identical to the reality.

We thus produce a concrete, rhythmic and mimetic dance, from manipulations and shifting of ropes that embody this quest for authenticity, dotted with doubts, knots and frustrations. Some suspensions bring a breath and an oneiric desire of elevation.

 

Mirrors and copulation are abominable, because they multiply the number of individuals.
