Derniers Feux

13.–15.8.

14.8. ● Beyond the Stage

Age recommendation: 12 years

Duration 1 h 15 min

Fireworks are exciting and scary at the same time. The dance and music show “Derniers Feux” is about the moment before the explosion, that the artists try to stretch out.

Fireworks fascinate with their ambivalence and contradictions. Their spectacle brings people together, their detonation is awaited with excitement and fear. Némo Flouret’s new performance, “Derniers Feux”, draws on images and sensations held within our collective memories, and focuses on the suspended state before the explosion. In this grey area, a choreography of expectation and deferral is created in which dancers and musicians, as travelling artists, constantly change the landscape on stage, and try again and again to postpone the conclusion of the performance, the inevitable final fire.

Artist's Note by Némo Flouret

“When I think about dance, it often starts with a feeling of nothingness, a void to be activated with various traces, knowledges, and sensations I’ve encountered in my dancer’s life. On what archives, beliefs, memories, histories have those traces anchored themselves? Is my choreographic imagination only based on what I’ve learned, reproducing over and over, in different constellations, a standardised crafting of dance? In Derniers Feux, the burning question of artificiality is addressed as a phenomenon that I’ve been experiencing as an artist: what makes me do what I do? How could we dance, play, perform next to–or with–artificiality? Is dance only an excuse to continue the movement? To hold the suspension as much as possible, to never solve it and to forget, to displace the centre outside of our bodies, to never start so we never stop, to walk on the line of the visible and invisible, on stage and off stage, to be watched observing, to dance without knowing, to frustrate the signs, to place the centre everywhere but not in us, les foyers infinis, to annihilate the referent, disfiguring the movement and ourselves, the object, the subject, the place. In Derniers Feux, people are moving, inhaling and exhaling, slipping away from themselves with wide movements towards an unattainable totality. Always in continuation, this is a kaleidoscopic fragmentation that breaks all–and any–preceding movements with bursts.”
