Puis le vide, et le cri de la chute qui dépose au bord des articulations l’air nécessaire au dépliement des membres dans l’espace d’un jardin.

Presentation

They can no longer see anything. Their bodies freeze, absorb what comes from the outside, and then try in a last jolt to invest the space that opens up before them. Time, desire, resonate with their own chaos as the only way to stay in tune with their impulses.

After studying psychomotor education, Bernardo Montet joined the Mudra school and went to Japan to study butoh dance. He was co-director with Catherine Diverrès of the CCN de Rennes, then founded his company, Mawguerite. He was directed of the CCN de Tours from 2003 to 2011. Since 2012, his company has been based in Morlaix, where he is associate artist with the Centre national pour la création adaptée.
