bi-portrait Yves C.
This “expanded duet” is primarily based on traditional round dancing from the North Finistère region. It is practiced in a circle with endless singing, creating situations of sharing and experiences shifting us towards one another.
In a circle, what exactly does the centre represent? How can one’s specific cultural identity be absorbed into a duet? What share of the sensitive and the intimate might arise from an exchange of practices? The trance resulting from a round dance is one of the aspects that most struck me. Through the ritornello, the exhaustion of energy, dancing face-to-face, and the relationship between interior and exterior, Yves and I permanently strive to reach a state that overtakes us.
