Experimental evening at PLOEF Brussels, 9.3.2023
With guest musician Manuel Hermia
'Staying with the trouble' - Donna Haraway
Collaboration with Perceptual Pedagogue and performer Thierry Heynderickx (BE/FRA). Leaning on the sensorial Sensible paradigm initiated by Human Sciences researcher Danis Bois, the performers-researchers explore the relational grey areas that inhabit all interactions and borders as potential spaces where otherness is seen as fertile. By committing to a specific attentional skill and tuning into the body's connective tissues, the performers aim to bypass dominant tendencies and dualities and let other voices emerge. The practice both gestural and graphic demands an expanded form of perception beyond the usual to bypass constructed representations within the biographic bodies. A wilder region enables a different kind of cogito that challenges binary thinking leading to a dialogical field between old and new/invisible and visible/intime and collective.
The first experiment took place at PLOEF Cultural Community Center in Brussels in 2023 and the second at the foot of the Lure Mountain in France in 2024.
Wih the support of Svenska Kulturfonden in Finland, PlOEF Brussels, Compagnie du Passeur (Sylvie Bitterlin) France.
