What can you expect?
A visually stunning and poetic double bill! First Roy Assaf takes us into dreamy memories, before DEMESTRI + LEFEUVRE turn bodies into landscapes in the open air, make the invisible visible and invite us on a journey of aesthetic immersion.
Want to delve deeper into the matter? Ariel Freedman from Roy Assaf's ensemble will be giving a workshop entitled when you practise from July 18-20.
Figure No. 16 is a work for three dancers and a microphone, or a dance for two couples in a series of 7 beginnings. A dance that owes its life to Hokuto and Mariko, Johannes in the 19th century, Johannes in the 21st. Century, Glenn (to hell with the beat), Roland, Neema, the most beautiful girl in Rockville Maryland, Popai, to the boy who gave up on a wall full of diplomas and to Josef from Budapest, to love, to hate, to a child prodigy, to a monster, to a ghost, to adolescence, to a nervous breakdown, to a vase of flowers, to a bearded elephant, to a camel swimming in a pond, just to name a few. Figure No. 16 is a dance for a single spectator who decides its fate and whether it is a dance at all.

In their search for a departure from anthropocentric automatisms in the production of movement, Florencia Demestri and Samuel Lefeuvre focus on the potential of the body to translate non-human, even non-living movements with Troisième Nature. They believe that the body can function as a landscape, in the sense of an emergent multiplicity, and that it then becomes a surface for the inscription and circulation of a whole multiplicity of modes of existence.
In the center of a circular installation, around which the audience sits, they assemble a sensitive, non-anatomical body from a mirrored surface and take the audience on a journey through the randomness of forms. Instead of a choreographic phrase or a defined physicality, the images follow one another and conjure up the phenomenon of pareidolia - that spontaneous transformation of the visible that allows us to see a horse in a cloud or a mountain range in patches of moisture!
