BODY CONCERT
Coproduction Lone Wolf Tribe (États-Unis) / Les Sages Fous
Body Concert takes us to the frontier of reality, between dance and puppetry, in an unusual and extremely rigorous solo choreography.
Oversized parts of the human body come to life in a wordless meditation set to haunting music. Unforgettable, tenderly grotesque images appear and dissolve in changing environments of falling snow and lingering steam.
Anatomical Concert was created during artistic residencies in Canada and Norway with the help of Les Sages Fous and Ella Fiskum Danz. It was presented in 2018 at St. Ann’s Puppet Lab and received financial support from the Brooklyn Arts Council. The final stage of creation took place in Trois-Rivières in November 2018.
A co-production with Les Sages Fous.
