BODY-SCAN

B.L.eux

Unfurl your antennae, feel both the movement and the moment, bring the intelligence of the body into play – that is the approach to choreography and the challenge launched by Quebec choreographer Benoît Lachambre and Vancouver dancer Su-Feh Lee as they venture, in Body-Scan, into the secret, innermost zones of the human body.

Details

By working on the transmission of energy and fluidity in space, these two atypical creative artists seek to liberate movement from the cultural straitjacket of formalism in order to find their way back to an authenticity of movement. In dynamic emotional response to four other performers and the very organic environment of New York photographer Robert Flynt, they embark on a sensitive dialogue between the mysteries of human anatomy and the world it inhabits. Bodies attract one another, they merge, separate and withdraw, connected always by an invisible inner strength emanating from the dancers. Time expands, the space imbued with waves of energy circling from the stage to the audience, enhancing with each surge the force and quality of the experience. This ode to an awakening of the senses is an invitation to move beyond reality.
