Lille Opera
THE PYRE
BY GISÈLE VIENNEIntroduction
In The Pyre, Gisele Vienne explores the creation of a work in tension, the impossible relationship with words and narration. The written word – here the novel by Dennis Cooper – underpins all of her choreography and the mute gesture ever seeks to stifle this narration through abstraction. For the time of a performance, their collaboration errs into the meanderings of a paradox essential to dance, ever caught between abstraction and narration. Gisele Vienne examines in depth the very form of performance by disturbing our perceptions. The gesture finds its continuation in silence, or rather in the inner voice of the spectator, who, after having witnessed the performance, can then discover Dennis Cooper’s text in the form of a short novella distributed at the start of the show.
The work of Patrick Riou and Gisele Vienne, who create a true sculpture of light, and the musical composition by Peter Rehberg and Stephen O’Malley, mixing electronic music and electric guitar, participate in the physicality of this very sensorial experience offered by The Pyre.
