PAS DE TROIS

Performance

Pas de trois (Figure of three) is an experimental, in progress research in between three bodies that enter in dialogue, a dancer, a musician, and a viola.

The practice proposes a space of relationships between the visible and the audible in order to reveal the translation of information in between the three bodies; to transform the sound as something to watch, and movement as something to hear; to question the act of performance; and to destabilize the borderline between musician and dancer.

Through the return to the simplicity in sound and movement, and the detachment of all significance and pretensions in both performative actions, the intention lies in rather in the attempt to discover anew the most elementary actions and the perception practice in ourselves.
