5ème Biennale d’Art contemporain de Berlin
5TH BERLIN BIENNIAL…
“Mes Nuits sont plus belles que vos jours”
Kunst-Werke, Berlin
<version francaise>
In the framework of ‘Mes nuits sont plus belles que vos jours’, the night part of the 5th berlin biennial for contemporary art. A 5th berlin biennial and CAC Brétigny collaboration, the X-Event 1 is organized by Pierre Bal-Blanc, director of the CAC Brétigny, France.
For seventy minutes, five performers will carry out seven protocols on an X-shaped stage, testing trajectories, linkages, and hiatuses, as well as the isolation and coming-together dictated by this elemental form. Pushed to their limits, their bodies give rise to involuntary and residual shapes and to respiration, sweating, and the physical marks that are laid bare to the public along with the enacted movements.

Interprets: Magali Albespy, Sophie Demeyer, Déborah Laly, Guillaume Milhac, Stève Paulet
