Noir Vanille
2022-2023 (to be continued)
Noir Vanille is a « choreographic object ». A sculpture called “Brain”, crafted with doll heads with long hair, is carried by two dancing bodies. Together they become one moving object.
Partially blind, the performers develop a special awareness with expanded sensations, listening and adjusting their bodies to one another.
During the creation process, we questioned what remains from childhood in our adult life as well as how it conditions our behaviors and thought patterns.
For the viewer, the Brain imposes an anonymous identity by covering the performers’ face.
Noir Vanille is conceived for indoor exhibition spaces (museums, galeries) to create an intimate context for the audience.
