‘Manger’

Boris Charmatz turns the stage into a laboratory for ideas and a playground for the body. As choreographer and director of the transgressive Musée de la danse, he is continually testing the foundations of contemporary dance. Having created vast group choreographies in 2011 and 2012, Charmatz is now adopting a completely different approach to the body. His latest project is a mobile installation that directs our gaze to the inside and explores the everyday action of eating. How do we eat? How do we digest reality? The mouth is a traffic intersection where the inside and outside, the me and the world meet and exchange. Charmatz serves the audience a delicious living sculpture. Fourteen bodies chew, crunch, spit, ingest, regurgitate, eructate, speak, sing and dance in a peristaltic choreography. manger or a devoured reality, a swallowed utopia, a slow digestion of the world. Have a taste!
