Nos corps vivants

« What defines us as humans? What connects us to each other? What is the role of the other in our construction? These are important questions for me, which I confronted very early on. We are inhabited by different identities, emotions, images and characters that make us multiple beings. »

Since the creation of CieF, Arthur Perole works on group performances and draws his inspiration and his conception of space and time from them. With Nos corps vivants, he indulges in a different experience, the solo, favouring the connection with his inner self and the audience, and imbues his body with sensuality and flesh to let the essence of an emotion arise.

Thought as a celebration of our multiplicity, of our complexity and our emotions, the performance is a special, sculptured moment, in which the body and the images are treated as a film, with jolts, slow motions, bugs. A celebration imbued with tenderness, uncertainty and love.

Onstage, everything is visible and near the audience surrounding it: now in the shadows, now in the light, Marcos Vivaldi (music), Benoît Martin (sound) and Nicolas Gallang (lights) are an integral part of the performance. On the same level as the music and sounds shedding a different light on the dance.

The abstractness of the gesture associated to the lyricism, the friendliness and the humour of the performer creates an intense vibration in that minimalist space shared with the audience.
