"cosmos blues" is a dance solo performed by two female dancers, which mainly develops patterns related to a limited, prevented body.
Focusing on 'what a body can', a body that travels, falls, climbs, descends, clings, slips… 'in an uncertain world'.
This body needs some rest, some time to hold on, thus the two dancers perform the solo in turns.
Those elements have contributed to specify the nature and the issues that had emerged on stage. How to continue, which kind of dance,
which space?
I went back inside, like a homecoming, after the immense depth of field of "as far as the eye can hear", specially produced for the open air
in 2010.
Well, we actually are in a theatre, but at the same time we cross a landscape all made up: a simple hung wire transforms the stage house,
water puddles spread out on the ground meet in rivers, the figure of a tree is planted there. These elements are used as landmarks
throughout the choreography.
The need to enlarge the space of representation remains a major stake for this indoor come back.
By indoor I also mean a space more intimate that I wish to explore, starting with my own motion.
With this necessity to exploit a way to move that doesn't go obviously for personal reasons.
It wasn't only about starting from my body difficulties, but also about nourishing a dance that questions the spectacle as a whole.
The representation of a body which is not formatted, the search for a right distance between oneself and the viewer, have justified my
spectacles for these twenty last years. A body threatened by the fall or the obstacle, sounds like a quasi-premonitory coincidence
between my choreographic process and what I now live “for real”. These patterns are all the more current that it is urgent to assert
the singular in a society which standardizes and more and more reduces our freedom space.
What can an unstable body in an uncertain world? cosmos blues...
