DÉCORPS D’INTÉRIEUR
Shortlisted 2018-2019
A person has a shadow, but can a shadow have a person? How many
people coexist inside one person? How to give life to the different
sides of ourselves? How can we describe this inner struggle? And if it
was a dance?
Two inseparable bodies: In this piece, we create a metaphorical space
that suggests that two bodies are one person. It is a physical reflection
on our internal negotiations and duality. The interaction between these
sometimes contradictory sides is translated into movement, into
manipulation, into dance, into fight.
Primarily, the emphasis is on symbiosis, on synchronism. However, this
union naturally evolves towards a desynchronization. The distance
grows.
There is a rupture. A confrontation. Thus, we move into duality, all the
while remaining inseparable. We play with the brutality of the conflicts as
well as with the subtlety and the tenderness of the cooperation. Raising
issues of power; exploring the mutual support and cooperation;
illustrating a sense of continuous transformation led equally by the two
forces.
Aesthetically, we create a poetic universe based on the simplicity of
gesture and action, where harmonic moments, as well as conflicts, can
be born. The story is constantly fluctuating between unity, distance,
rupture, and interdependence…
