Choreography : Laurent Chétouane
Laurent Chétouane (FR | D)
15 Variationen über das Offene
- Tanz im August
Philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy defines 'Openness' as the limitlessness and plurality of our senses. Solidly defined truths, identities, or structures can no longer bring us together; our only hope may lie in organizing coexisting possibilities. This idea formed a departure point for the piece “15 Variations on Openness,” the second part of Laurent Chétouane's togetherness trilogy. Four dancers, accompanied by live music by Nico Muhly, an American composer, develop constellations that simultaneously spatialize a variety of possibilities while doing away with security based on the permanent, in order to explore the unknown encounters formed by a 'with' that takes place in the liminal space outside each of their four bodies. What does choreography mean? How do you choreograph uncertainty? How can a choreographer be so 'open' that his form or technique does not develop into an identity or language, and yet simultaneously create a space in which his performers can (once again) think and dance togetherness?
