With HURRICANES, Brian Ca explores the connections and events that occur within a microcosm. In this work, he explores in greater depth the place of spectators in a work of art, and their relationship with the performers. Creating a unique universe where individuals are fatally propelled into a transcendental fall, they are forced to adopt various survival strategies. But what consequences will these disturbances, which disrupt the normative sequence of time, have on the trajectory of events?
Brian Ca will also present his exhibition ORIGINES and an extract from his site-specific project INFRA.
Inspired by Krump and its history, from its birth to today’s rise, the starting point for HOLD FAST is the intersection between Krump and contemporary dance. It’s a raw and profound return to the roots, as close as possible to the paroxysm of emotional expression. Repetition, relentlessness, belief, a tireless search for the right gesture and self-sacrifice are the keys to surpassing perceived physical and moral limits. Thanks to a virtuous energy, HOLD FAST will introduce a collective introspection about our own inspirations, authenticity and confidence in possible allies and in our own abilities.
The video performance was produced as part of the research seminar Revêtir l’invisible : La Religion habillée 2019-2021, which focuses on the relationship between clothing fashion(s) and religion, understood as a system of religious beliefs and traditions. The research team is made up of academics who are at the forefront of research in this field, which is characterized by its multi-disciplinarity, involving philosophy, aesthetics, semiology, anthropology, theology and history.
Invited to take up the subject, the artists create a video-dance that brings together the interplay of movement and dress, and its different narrative and evocative textures. Their work is based on the ritual of dressing up. Through various layers and materials, they question what is concealed and what is exposed – a gesture with a dual function in art and religion.
This creation is off the beaten track, both thematically and aesthetically.
