Conceived in several parts and directed by distinct choreographic principles, these choreographic experiments are driven by two central instruments, the organ and bells, towards a future piece around the notion of the church going back to the Greek meaning of assembly inherent in the term ekklesia, both inside the religious building or under the open sky. For investigating the church, to make resonate its organs and bells, Boris Charmatz is less interested in the church as such but rather in the way of creating a human architecture of church, a “church without a church”, an assembly of bodies in contact, a choreographic assembly. What is the heritage of the church in our contemporary society? How could it be subverted, shaken up? Is it possible to think of a libertarian church?
Invited by Culturgest, Boris Charmatz occupies the park Alameda Dom Afonso Henriques together with a group of fifteen dancers, composed by close collaborators of the choreographer and dancers from Portugal. [terrain] Lisboa, under the open sky and open to everyone, brings together talk, public warm-up, workshops, rehearsals and performance.
EVENT ORGANIZED IN THE SCOPE OF THE PORTUGAL-FRANCE SEASON 2022
