Angle mort Label Cedana

choreographic, visual, and sound art

Blind Spot is a choreographic, visual, and auditory work that focuses on fantasy, dreams, memory, slips of the tongue, and the body’s hidden thoughts. In a sense, the aim here is to use dance, visual arts, and sound to represent everything that falls within the body’s blind spot or lies outside its field of view.

The “Live-concert” format presented at La Criée explores the themes of instinct and experimentation, creating a space for the audience to wander around an installation in which the performers’ actions come together to form a visual, auditory, and associative experience. Taking the greatest risks in the creative process, the dancers and performers were there every day to test their own ability to produce images, movements, and sounds.
Without a set schedule that would force a specific, spectacular format, the Live-Concert invited visitors to take their time or return throughout the week to experience how the sequences of dance, sound, and projections created a space where the elements came together differently each day.

“The ‘Fixe-théâtre’ format, presented at the Vieux St-Etienne, is conceived as a sculpture in the process of evolution. A foundation we could hold onto if the art of reproduction did not elude us. A relentless, reproducible refrain.”

Annabelle Chambon & Cédric Charron

The play is presented as a reflection on time and memories of time. Throughout the creative process, the artists sought to dissect its mechanisms and its direct influence as a trace of the past that resonates in the present. Drawing on different experiences, they explored the idea of singularizing both time and each individual. The concept of obsession as both fertile ground and history thus emerged. Then, consideration was given to a shared event—one that would serve as the starting point for a look back, an absolute necessity, an involuntary recollection of time past—through which it would be possible to reexamine and rediscover one’s journey. Angle Mort is, therefore, a temporal experience, a journey toward this event, like a foreshadowed ending. In a sense, it involves delving into the depth of the experience and drawing on the audience’s visual and auditory memories.
