Deux danses d'ameublement

The John Cage piano piece Cheap Imitation was inspired by the symphonic drama Socrate by Erik Satie. Satie was in turn inspired by texts by Plato, and Vincent takes inspiration from the story of the two compositions. His dance simultaneously works with le geste (gesture, the instant, the physical) and la geste (the heroic deed, storytelling, the epic of a certain antiquity/modernity of dance). The imaginary and embodiment, with a table and a chair as props. As reference texts, Vincent shows 23 photos of Fumiyo Ikeda, a living archive of the company Rosas, and photos from the solo Primary Accumulation (1972), choreographed by Trisha Brown. Vincent Dunoyer presents his personal tribute to Cheap Imitation through a game of metamorphoses, culminating in what he calls two furniture dances, cheap imitations transformed into original creations.
