Topologie deals with the unities of space, time and action that make up
a
performance. By creating a stage the size of a geographic area and by
adapting the length of the performance to that of a process in a state
of
creation, the disassociated unity becomes a part of the public space,
using the daily routine of the city and the social relations that take
place there. The process takes place using immersion within the chosen
social context. All accessible areas of activity are potentially taken
into account by the dancers (stores, public facilities, means of
transportation,…).
Statement:
In
a given place (point of reference) the Topologie graph is presented,
reproduced on a map of the sector of the city in which the project
takes place. This graph is supplemented with an audio system that emits
the sound score that accompanies the execution of the physical score.
This audio piece is broadcast on the frequency of a free radio that
usually broadcasts in this area.
During several days, the performers start from a predefined point of
departure to follow an individual course in the public space determined
by the Topologie graph.
With every outing, they progressively focus on the organization and
increasingly more accurate execution of their simple acts: gestures,
physical and social behaviors, speeds of their movement, etc. The shape
of the graph is such that they are brought together in certain precise
places and exact moments.
Each course ends with the performers returning to the point of departure.
