Contemporary dance from France
Published: 30/05/2009 05:00
The French dance company LâExperience Harmaat will perform a contemporary performance art piece called âAbstraction and Gravityâ at Hanoiâs Youth Theater this coming Saturday (June 6). | |||||||
The choreographer is Fabrice Lambert, who has been the companyâs manager and artistic director for the past nine years. In that time he has gathered artists from distinctive spheres who share a common interest in working on movement, and particularly on body writing and its environment. Lambert has conceived a number of works in this spirit, including âNo Body,â âNever Mindâ and âTOPOâ in 2001, Le rêve in 2002, and âThe alphabetâ (or The audienceâs regular pleasures) in 2005. âAbstraction & Gravityâ was created in 2007 and is split into two parts as its name suggests. Abstraction: Each presence is extraordinary The theme of âAbstractionâ is that each being born today carries in its cells the long memory of our history and our humanity, and each period of our history is written in our body to form the memories that constitute us. Because they weave our future, each presence is extraordinary, ambitious and dangerous. Gravity: Body and water turn out to be one In âGravity,â a combination of choreography and an installation, a body leans over a stretch of smooth water as light and sound come and go repeatedly. United by the movements, body and water become one entity. They are then fused into one graphic image created through this process and not by a video projection. Thanks to the precise orientation of the light, the image is reflected on a white screen placed behind the water. At first the body seems to be floating above the surface, but the construction of its supports reveals the waterâs texture. The way the body adjusts to terrestrial gravity is expressed through the waterâs movements as a series of pictures in motion. LâExperience Harmaat was formed by Lambert and Yuha-Pekka in 1997. At the time, Lambert was a member of the Kublai Khan Investigations Collective. He spent three years with Kublai Khan, from 1996 to 1998, and he also performed with Carolyn Carlson’s dance company in 1997 and 1998. Tickets for Saturdayâs show cost VND25,000-50,000 (US$1.40-2.80) and can be obtained at the Youth Theater, 11 Ngo Thoi Nhiem Street, Hanoi. Reported by Hong Hanh |
