Static Shot
For this new creation with the dancers of CCN – Ballet de Lorraine, I have imagined a choreographic device borrowing certain editing and assembling techniques from cinema.
I approach the piece as a fixed shot, or sequence shot, where movement and gaze would never cease. The plasticity of images, the energy and rhythm of sequences forming the fabric of a scene whose physical and visual intensity never leaves its apex.
The piece, conceived as a “block” of bodies, images and sounds, will have no beginning, no middle, no end. Like a permanent climax, the group of dancers holds together this culminating point, the energy always at its zenith.
In STATIC SHOT, everything will speak of bodies — how they interact, how they exceed, how they move, how they live or survive, how they surrender, how they attract one another, how they merge, how they collide, how they transform, how they do not die…
Behind a pitch, a simple situation or a scene of “…”, what is really happening? What if the pleasure of becoming one were to turn into a source of tension? Between ecstasy and climax, collective dances and unisons — where then does the accident lie, the fracture, the release?
