B-SWAP DAY 2: BRIGITTINES @ BEURSSCHOUWBURG

Paul Blondeel is urban ethnographer; he will explain how daily gestures and routines relate to social needs and desires that could inform (or deepen) local democracy.

All the shows presented at the Brigittines between 2005 and 2009 directed by filmmaker Michel Jakar are shown during a non-stop screening.

A sensitive and poetical evocation of "passion" in the first sense of the word, as suffering and vital intensity, a stupendous moment, Incendie presents an elevation/disappearance of bodies, figured by the blazing of a swarms of shirts. Like in all her other works, Frédérique Chauveaux invites us to unreservedly associate the elements we want as she refuses to give a strict interpretation that would somewhat limit the suggestive and imaginary scope of her work.

This piece grew out of a question that kept coming back to the choreographer: how much of who I am really comes from within myself, and how much has been carved and shaped by society's norms?

Pulsation perpétuelle, machine à danser, rituel futuriste, frénésie techno. Marche infernale et burn out en vue!
