Silence

Choreographer Mathilde Monnier has partnered with composer, musician, and percussionist Lucie Antunes for a creation revolving around altered states of consciousness and the notion of silence in our contemporary lives. Intensification of sensations, reduction of peripheral awareness, temporal distortion, modification of our perception of time… This choreographed concert opens a space for connection between the stage and the audience to collectively find balance with the sound of the world and explore trance. Energised by 7 dancers and 4 musicians present on stage, Silence is a continuation of rhythm and pulses, a vital thrust, a succession of stupefying images, like the metaphors described in André Breton’s Surrealist Manifesto which have the power—according to the poet—to break the rules of the universe.

LP 레코드판의 표면을 닮은 무대 위에서, 루시 안튜네스와 마틸드 모니에는 침묵과 변형된 의식 상태를 화두로 감각적이고 타악적인 경험을 선사한다.
