LOIN (Far away)
"LOIN" is a choreographic proposal and perceptual experience for a great depth of field.
​
In the distance, bodies detach from the landscape. They appear like a mirage, the image is blurry, their gestures vague. They are getting imperceptibly closer and we can distinguish more precise movement, their silhouettes emerge, the landscape is transformed around them. Some of them progress faster than others, retreat, leave. They amalgamate, form a group, supporting each other, then separate becoming again solitary individuals. And their faces take shape, their features sharpen, we hear the sound of their bodies, of their breath, they are very near, they are here.
​
Heloise Desfarges wants to modify the relationship between time and space. The progression of the dancers is inescapable, but slow down at the approach of the public. When the distance narrows, time expands, space unfolds. She also wants to play on the visual perception of the viewer. He distinguishes movements, sees them reproduced at several stages. Does his perspective evolve as the dancers progress? Does he let his attention float around the dancers, with an impression of the body in negative within the landscape, and then change his attention, suddenly touched by the
relationship between two dancers?
