‘En Vie..En Ville’ (‘Alive…in Town’)
Movement alternates with still statuary to create an exceptional fusion of art and architecture. ‘Alive…in Town’ is a brilliant example of site-specific performance which not only intervenes in public areas but shapes it. It provides allegories of urban life, seeking not to provide answers but to pose to attentive audiences questions about it. The piece is performed by 5 people including a musician. Dance here is no longer about the classical art of beautiful movement or a contemporary search of expression. Instead, it offers a critical approach to the urban environment.
