The Untitled Still Life Collection
Tension
Le chorégraphe Trajal Harrell et la sculptrice Sarah Sze unissent leurs forces pour une expérience commune ; il expérimente des mouvements, elle des matériaux. Cette tension entre performeurs, matériaux et espace est l'essence du spectacle The Untitled Still Life Collection. L'interaction du sculptural et du chorégraphique génère des changements respectifs et crée de nouvelles potentialités insoupçonnées.
• Le chorégraphe et danseur new-yorkais Trajal Harrell était en résidence, entre autres, à Workspacebrussels. Cette saison, nous présentons aussi son spectacle (M)imosa - Twenty Looks or Paris is Burning at The Judson Church (M), qui était à l'affiche du Festival d'Avignon. Sarah Sze représentera les États-Unis à la Biennale de Venise en 2013.
