STUDY 4, FANDANGO AND OTHER CADENCES
2021
Developing for several years a study project around the gesture of hammering, I asked Yannick Hugron, a friend and choreographic artist, to talk to me about his experience as a former dancer of Basque popular dances.
As if in a kind of self-hypnosis, I asked him to delve into his past, into his physical memory, and to elaborate a story with a few gaps, temporal voids that would activate the imagination.
I wanted to broaden this research and talk to other people practising this music and these dances in the Basque territory… and thus collect fragments of stories.
With this corpus of memory, I invite Yannick Hugron to join me on the stage so that together we can summon, map and reinterpret the stories, gestures and movements collected during these conversations. We will activate the body’s memories and compose our own choreographic fiction.
