Screening: Self Unfinished by Xavier Le Roy

After hosting Self Unfinished by Xavier Le Roy live in Beirut in 2015, Beirut Art Center offers an opportunity to watch this performance on the screen. Using a chair, a desk and a soundtrack, that doesn’t start, a dancer in a shirt uses strong sound effects to imitate a robot. Head over heels, the dancer’s body is transformed in a real time into a series of hallucinogenic morphological aberrations, representing images of a body that reconfigures itself based on unwritten laws and a disquieting, inhuman rhythm.
