Apparemment ce qui ne se voit pas
Piece for 4 dancers | indoor | 50 minutes
Apparemment ce qui ne se voit pas is a long process of creation/accumulation that links image and dance, which was carried out between 2009 and 2014. Each shoot is born out of a particular context, in the midst of another project, by chance of random encounters or upon a particular invitation: a solo, a sequence shot, entering or leaving the viewing field. Tunis, Copenhagen, Seoul, Marseille, Alexandria… Just as much improvisation for the dance as for the camera. No request for authorization. No rehearsals. Just one take, one chance.
Several forms were born from this process as Détail#3 and Le nom du lieu
Détail #3 is a performance that takes place indoors. Dance, sound, and images share the stage: the solos have been rewritten for indoors and seek an encounter; the filmed images are projected directly onto the walls; the dancers can show their own image in one of the cities, or that of another dancer, or perhaps they can even dance with the images. The sounds, soundscapes, and music are used in a synchronous, asynchronous, or mobile way, diffused from portable amplifiers, handled by the dancers. The spectators are placed in the centre, the dancers, and images outside the circle, on the walls: it is a panorama, in the literal sense of the word.
