Depuis plus de 50 ans, le Centre Pompidou et le Festival d’Automne contribuent à la redéfinition du paysage culturel, s’appuyant sur un engagement audacieux en faveur de la création, et faisant ainsi rayonner les arts contemporains à l’échelle nationale et internationale. Fortes d’une collaboration de longue date, les deux institutions s’associent cette année autour d’une programmation ambitieuse, mettant à l’honneur la création du chorégraphe Noé Soulier et du musicien et plasticien Tarek Atoui, ainsi que celle de la performeuse et cinéaste Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha. Ensemble, le Centre Pompidou et le Festival d’Automne imaginent également une « École du soir », pensée et orchestrée par le philosophe et économiste Felwine Sarr.
The performance piece Organon, a collaboration between choreographer Noé Soulier and artist Tarek Atoui, brings us a bold reconfiguration of the relationship between performative bodies, space and sounds.
Unfurling in a hybrid space on the border between performance art and installation, Organon combines the two powerful artistic universes of Noé Soulier and Tarek Atoui. In order to explore the complex relationship woven between bodies and sounds generated by Tarek Atoui's unique stage mechanism, the performance sets in motion six dancers in an environment where music, scenography and choreography dialogue in a fruitful way to the point of erasing disciplinary boundaries. Multiple relationships are forged, ranging from a dialogue with an autonomous instrument, and a choreographic approach to sound production, to a device that expresses the contact between two dancers via sound. These relationships do away with any binary opposition between body and object, goal and means, sound and image. Nourished by the different tensions and impulses that result from this encounter between physical, sound-based and bodily space, Organon invites spectators to immerse themselves in a performance-research piece that is both sensory and conceptual.
