Two choreographies
arrive from the famous Canadian company that is returning to Budapest
the sixth time
. The constant factors:
the drive
,
the rhythm
, the choreographer Marie Chouinard and the
modern classics of musical history
. Inspirations this time:
Erik Satie
and
Henri Michaux
.
Henri Michaux - Mouvements:
In 1980,
Marie Chouinard
discovered the book
Mouvements by Henri Michaux
(1899-1984). In
64 pages of India-ink drawings
, a
15-page poem
and an
afterword
, Mouvements presents
multiform figures
that Marie Chouinard took pleasure in reading literally, left to right and page by page, as a
choreographic
score. She then proceeded to decrypt the great artist’s drawings and set dance to these "movements of multiple inkjets,
a celebration of blots
, arms moving up and down the scales.”
The book’s transition to dance has been done
“word for word”
, for even the poem in the middle of the book, as well as its afterword, are included in the choreography.
The drawings are
projected in the background
, allowing spectators to do a
simultaneous personal reading
of the Michaux score. Echoing the visual presentation of a white page with black drawings, performers dressed in black dance on a white floor.
Gymnopédies:
The second piece is the newest performance of the company that premiered this summer. It is around the t
heme of the duet while at the piano the dancers
take turns playing the
Gymnopédies of Erik Satie
.
Entry:
3000 HUF, 2400 HUF for students.
