The Luxembourg centre for choreographic creation TROIS C-L has announced that it is reopening its doors on Saturday 3 April 2021.
To mark this reopening, following the centre's COVID-19-related closure to the public, TROIS C-L is organising two performances and an exhibition at Banannefabrik
in Luxembourg-Bonnevoie: "BEAT 'I just wish to feel you'" by Collective Dope and Jenna Jalonen, "Credere" by Giovanni Zazzera and "Tender Absence" by Isaiah Wilson.
BEAT 'I just wish to feel you': Everything in life exists thanks to energy waves. These vibrations create the rhythms that drive us and make our hearts beat. We share the same pace, the same pulse, we are connected through movement and touch. But what happens when the “beat” disappears? Here is Jenna and here is Jonas. A contemporary dancer and a b-boy, who decode the skilled and disciplined body into a new way of movement and partnering. The active and the passive. The manipulator and the manipulated one. “The living-body” and “the dead-body”. The sound artist Adrian Newgent joins them on stage composing live soundscape in dialogue with the dancers. BEAT ‘I just wish to feel you’ is a physical, raw, yet intimate and touching duet about human relations. Collective Dope is a contemporary dance and performing arts collective founded and led by Jenna Jalonen and Nóra Hotváth.
Credere: Credere is a new creation project based on the exploration of human states of beliefs, which guide everyone's convictions and give rise to fictions from our imaginary realities. From this proposal, it is a question of exploring swirling states of dizziness of doubt to total convictions, which through these bodies, become contaminated and propagate to make the invisible visible. Italian-Luxembourger Giovanni Zazzera trained at the Luxembourg Conservatory, where he obtained his Higher Diploma.
Tender Absence (exhibition): a collection of six short films by Isaiah Wilson, an interdisciplinary artist from Luxembourg. Each film reflects a different state that the artist experienced in isolation at the start of the pandemic. Using a single camera and the artist as the subject, Isaiah Wilson set out to capture the loneliness and longing for touch he may have experienced. He played with privacy by enhancing his body through selective framing and also partially created the soundscapes and themes to set the tone for each short film. Using the full potential of dance, cinematography and sound allowed him to build a cohesive world in which he was able to articulate his story with more precision.
Doors open at 18:30 for a 19:00 start. Tickets cost €20 (reduced: €7) or €1.50 with a Kulturpass and can be purchased online here.
