bi-portrait Jean-Yves
One’s relationship to the body is never disembodied. A banality only if one forgets Jean-Yves’s profession (Jean-Yves is a priest). Postures referring to the liturgy exist simply – for instance, a cross made from two bodies during a series of barrel rolls. But, it is at the crossroads, free of doubt the constant relaying between the two men, that the encounter truly takes place. It is impossible to describe the gilding Mickaël Phelippeau is able to create both in the body and through dialogue. Touching surprises await us at every moment. And time fulfills its role: reflection takes root in our relationship to what is facing us, borne by the codes of representation (…). Reappropriating the codes of neither dance, nor the numerous ones belonging to the space of Catholic celebration, without vulgarity.
