NaïF Production – Sylvain Bouillet
In this new project, Sylvain Bouillet proposes a research around the paternal link, an attempt to translate into dance what happens between an adult and a child. A danced attempt for a meeting between two bodies with very contrasted weight and size. This difference generates gestures, states and complex emotions. A fascinating subject for dance.
The question is not that of representing the child but of becoming one, multiple and ever changing. The opportunity to get out of their gestural habits in a slowly acquired coordination. The attempt to feel certain gestures for the first time, to rediscover the potential of his corporality by leaving the “known” gesture, seeking to live what has not yet been lived. The gestures will not target the performative. They will make their way through attempts, hesitations, imbalances, clumsiness, perseverance.
