100 MÈTRES PAR SECONDE – COGNITIVE OVERLOAD

> Premiere in Luxembourg

How to make the process of creating a choreographic and musical work perceptible This is the question at the heart of the performance 100 mètres par seconde. Throughout this 5-hour performance, the performers are simultaneously learning, composing and performing. Systems involving random chance and different conceptions of space and time are used to compose the choreographic and sound materials. Step by step, these systems are revealed, movements and sounds accumulate and interact in the space and time of play. The audience is invited to come and go as they please in the space, to observe the action taking place or to consult the various documentary sources made available to them, giving an account of the process at work since the beginning of the performance.

Constance Diard trained in contemporary dance at the CNSMD in Paris from 2013 to 2018. A deep interest and questioning about the links between arts and sciences push her to develop creative projects. For her Interpretation certificate at the CNSMDP in 2017, she composed a solo mixing dance and computer science. In 2018, she collaborated with the composer Shihong Ren, a student of the Cursus at IRCAM, to create Replica , a piece for percussion, electronics and dance. In 2019, she co-created In softly insistent motion , a musical and choreographic performance with musician Samuel Toro Pérez at the ZHDK, Zurich University of the Arts. In the same year, she founded the association Cognitive Overload with Lucas Bassereau, a platform for choreographic research. Constance is currently a performer with choreographers Sylvie Le Quéré, Antoine Arbeit, Max Fossati and Alban Richard.
