‘Dancers dance the way they make love, the way they pray, the way they eat, the way they sleep, the way they think, the way they write,’ the choreographer Boris Charmatz tells us, convinced that ‘dance is a space where movement (intimate, collective, societal, ephemeral, archaic, impromptu) can occur.’
A regular guest of the Centre Pompidou-Metz since 2022, he infuses every space in the museum with his energy through a programme of performances and workshops that are open to all. Somewhere between meandering and wandering, the exhibition presented in the Studio takes the form of a double projection, combined with fragments from his writings and from his sources of inspiration.
The exhibition offers an opportunity to discover two films made with César Vayssié, who has been a long-time collaborator of the choreographer. Danse gâchée dans l’herbe, a solo to be performed by Marion Barbeau and immortalised in the undergrowth of the Triangle Nord of the Centre Pompidou-Metz in June 2023, will be contrasted with Levée, a labyrinthine piece performed by 25 dancers on a spiral-shaped mound, an unusual setting filmed from above by the director.
« Les danseurs dansent comme ils font l’amour, comme ils prient, comme ils mangent, comme ils dorment, comme ils pensent, comme ils écrivent [...] la danse est un espace où le mouvement (intime, collectif, sociétal, éphémère, archaïque, impromptu) peut advenir. »
