An invitation to create a duo.
Two artists who do not know each other, coming from two different disciplines. Outdoors, natural light. performed by the two authors present on the set. This is the framework that the SACD and the Festival d’Avignon propose to the artists invited for Vive le sujet! Garden of chance is the result of this meeting between Kurt Demey, mentalist and Christian
Ubl, choreographer… on the edge, opening the playground to play, experimentation, shared writing.
A space poetry
Kurt and Christian do not know each other and discover each other’s worlds. Starting from this «Blind date» that the two men leave their comfort zones to understand the art and practice of the other and to create an artistic object that brings together both disciplines. A meeting of two different bodies, two dissonant voices, two distant approaches. Two sensibilities that converge, cross and discover each other, ready to explore, to mingle, to dance. Always singular, sometimes incongruous, searching bodies and souls.
Garden of Chance is an illusory space-time in which protagonists Kurt and Christian create a surrealistic and pataphysical garden. A space of dance and poetry to give way to wonder. Chance is the fruit that grows on our trees. Come have a taste! Chance is the living subject which guilding our sensations and observations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” parallax=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1571919404321{background: #ffffff url(https://cubehaus.fr/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/garden-of-chance.svg?id=6385);background-position: center;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″][rev_slider alias=”goc”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1571905887325{margin-right: 40px !important;}”]Residencies | La Briqueterie – CDCN du Val-de-Marne, L’Espace Périphérique (Ville de Paris – La Villette), CN D – Centre national de la danse à Pantin
