Monumentum the second sleep / part two, the quartet

Monumentum the second sleep / second part, the quartet has a temporal progression encapsulated in the pure dance of an ensemble, an expression of a plural progression of relationships.

If the zones of ecstasy of the real are also zones of production of meaning, the latter manifests itself in Monumentum without erupting but in a kind of abandonment in dance, a kind of perpetual sleep or second sleep, an altered state of consciousness in which the bodies allow themselves to be penetrated and transformed while maintaining the capacity to discern and assert.

In the first part the dancers play at disguising themselves with collective imagery, sinking into it to remain on the surface of the images: fragments of something we have already seen or heard appear and disappear.

A collective memory made of gestures, music, outfits.
In the second part, the body emerges softer and softer, literally becoming carnal, sensorial, emotional, a softness that leads to a certain nudity, the nudity of presence where bodies are capable of touching or elevating each other and refounding time and space.

Wrapped in chiaroscuro chromatic visions and traversed by dreamlike dialogues, the piece is in tune with the heartbeat of the gaze and makes us feel that there are other levels of communication or language, the possibility of living beyond the fence of the useful.
