"Flip Book", extraits vidéo
A series of choreographic tableaux vivants, Flip Book revisits David Vaughan's book, Merce Cunningham, Fifty Years. All of Cunningham is included in it, especially thanks to the photographs of each of his pieces. Imagining the path that led from one shot to another, Boris Charmatz proposes a singular reading of it, like an itinerary in a museum, whose works would be as much postures as the actions that lead to these postures. He thus composes a choreography that explores the creation process, a form of event in Cunningham's fashion, an archive in motion. The result is bright, fresh, amusing, in a word: alive. After having developed this project with amateur dancers and former interpreters of the American master, he brings together on the stage of Flip Book several figures from the French contemporary choreography scene who are close to him.
