Ma vie est un clip
(My Life is a video clip)
The dancer’s body has always identified itself as an allegorical space; a conveyor of a quest; the reflection of an era; an approach, a perspective on the world. Whilst the Company is constantly looking to take on new challenging, perilous realms, in order for dancing bodies to reveal their full commitment on stage, it also now fully asserts its need to work towards collective emancipation.
Tracking Down the Private Setting
Ma vie est un clip examines everybody’s dancing, alone, at home, in one’s familiar environment. This practice, which, paradoxically, is very common and highly personal, turns everyone into a dancer in a moment of abandon and jubilation.
A fleeting hero of one’s theatre, the living room.
What causes this impulse to dance?
What sort of a vital urge is it?
What is the nature of this choreographic impetus?
Why does this practice sometimes remain private and sometimes otherwise?
What are the issues in terms of ‘letting go’, the need to inhabit one’s dancing body, to exult in a heroic body, to put oneself on stage more or less consciously in one’s private setting?
Naturally, this string of questions raises the subject of the personal relationship everyone has with their body, modesty, letting go, other people’s opinions, impulse, and so on.
