Ayelen Parolin’s piece is all about the wish to make life simpler. A difficult task, as we know! What could a “simple” dance look like that is spontaneous, sincere and completely uninhibited? Doesn't a piece with such a utopian approach inevitably have to look ridiculous?
Ayelen Parolin, who shies away from neither the ridiculous nor the absurd, faces this challenge and the inherent contradictions. In a society in which everyone acts like an expert and hides behind pretentious and calculated behavior, she returns to forms of naivety, embracing the comical and the idiotic. With three dedicated performers who can do (or at least try to do) practically anything, she creates a show full of Dadaist inspiration that is deeply human.
Based on a text by Fabienne Aucant, brochure of the International Biennale Charleroi danse.
