FRENCH FIRST PERFORMANCE
DREAMING THE ANATOMY
"I am currently building a collection entitled Délirer l’Anatomie. It is composed of dancing tributes, along with partition-poems, to the body’s orifices. These tributes are secrets to be revealed which are buried in the potential of our physical constitution. Based on anatomy study, observation and experience, I am looking for hearing the anatomy dreams. And thus dreaming a body, dreaming an anatomy.
Orifice Paradis (Paradise Orifice), a tribute to the mouth, and Rêve d’Intestin (Dreaming the Intestine), a tribute to the intestine, are part of the collection Délirer l’Anatomie."
