As part of the Home Works 6 Platform, Al Madina Theatre is hosting a dance performance directed by Boris Charmatz called “Flip Book”.<\/p>\n
The performance is a free interpretation from the photographs in “Merce Cunningham, Un Demi-Si\u00e8cle de Danse”.<\/p>\n
Synopsis:<\/b> \u201cIn Merce Cunningham, un demi-si\u00e8cle de danse, all of Cunningham is there\u2014pictures from every piece, and Merce is portrayed from the age of five. When I read this book, it came to my mind that the collection of pictures was not only about nearly all of his projects, it also formed a choreography in itself close to Cunningham\u2019s processes to create dance: dance happens in between the postures, between two positions. And I thought we could invent a piece from this score of pictures, performed from beginning to end. On the one hand it would be a purely \u201cfake Cunningham\u201d piece, but on the other hand it could become a real [one], a meta-Cunningham event with a glimpse of his entire life and work\u2026 I consider this experience an integral part of our interest in archive, history and scores, which meets here its tumultuous dimension: the entire history of a life\u2019s work becomes a book, which in turn transforms into a performance elaborated by a handful of dancers.\u201d \u2014Boris Charmatz<\/p>\n
