The birth of a choreography that bridges between the imagination of two artists. One is a French-Belgian choreographer, the other, a Japanese visual artist.
Damien Jalet loves metamorphosis. That of bodies, forms, materials. Elements that go from solid to liquid, from horizontal to vertical, from gravity to the air, from the real to the to the phantasmatic, from the human to the non-human. His dance is perpetual movement. Life unfolds on stage in a balance of opposites that Japanese artist Kohei Nawa's gaze makes phantasmagorical.
Together Damien Jalet and Kohei Nawa created Vessel, a dance in which the almost naked bodies of dancers glistened under the light. With Planet [wanderer], they loop the loop of their diptych with a dreamlike choreography as if carved on a sparkling black floor.
