A work in three acts:
Tableau vivant [2 min] + Film [23 min]
+ Performance [50 min] = 75 min
LÀ-BAS, LE LOINTAIN is a work in three acts: a tableau vivant, or living fresco that marries the body with sculptural elements, a film, or the creative starting point of this project, and a performance, a piece for four dancers.
Featuring a community in perpetual motion, coming together and falling apart, a cascade of embraces lost and found.
Creatures reflecting on life, death and memory.
A desire for escape to contemplate the beauty of the world, accept the ephemeral nature of our bodies and the obsessive presence of absence.
