3 jours, 3 nuits

After the Earths quartet, Louise Vanneste stays close to the elements but returns to the solo. Her kaleidoscopic writing forges a "science fiction-like and dreamlike epic" at the intersection of narrative and abstraction, the imaginary and the tangible. This new opus is both human and geological. Louise Vanneste explores the boundaries of intimacy between a person and a mountain and listens to the sensory, physical and emotional variations of these bonds. The body absorbs stories, memories and scientific data, while the text is integrated into the sound score.  

"Sometimes the word informs, sometimes it just disrupts the gesture and vice versa: words represent and distort each other, meaning is constructed or crumbled, yielding to a greater abstraction, to a sensation, a feeling or opacity," spoke French-Antillean writer and critic Edouard Glissant.   

Vanneste's choreographic process emerges from the sensitive interstices and gaps. In this way, she tries to write about that which seems invisible: the relational, the fictional, or the emotional and sensitive space between a human being and a geological element, between choreographic and literary writing, between the descriptive word and abstract sound. 

• After training in classical dance, Louise Vanneste turned to contemporary dance and entered P.A.R.T.S., from which she graduated. A grant from the SPES Foundation (Be) enabled her to continue her training in New York, notably with the Trisha Brown Dance Company. At Rising Horses, she develops her choreographic work in close collaboration with artists from disciplines other than dance. In addition to her stage projects, she is developing a body of video installations. She has also taught at different art schools.
