MEDIATHEK

Created in 2001, this piece is conceived as a hypnotic parade between postures and tangles of bodies. A multifaceted personality. Christian Rizzo invents worlds without limits, metamorphoses of bodies and objects. Using simple materials with sophisticated effects, inspired by the night and its artifices, the choreographer works around cross-dressing. In Et Pourquoi pas..., four dancers with masked faces don costume after costume and parade slowly, creating a world of eccentric materials. From fantasy to wonderful.

The film plays with times and spaces combining those of representation and those of video. A unique sequence shot where bodies, objects, music are intertwined…

"et pourquoi pas : "bodymakers", "falbalas", "bazaar", etc, etc... exhibits five dancers on a moving pedestal, a circular and revolving podium, similar to those on which cars are presented at the Car Show.

Five bodies, "objects" of fantasy, examined from every angle, driven by a double movement, oscillating between the construction of figures which can be spotted and hybridations due to the mix of a history of the body and the costume.

"Objects" in movement constitute a double excuse to stop a shape and extricate an imaginary body and representation from it.

At the same time an object proposing a work of the body and a work of the body which presents a plastic object.

Choreographic and sculptural figures proceeding more from a defiguration of the body than from identitary body but on the contrary, to initiate a visual accumulation of imaginaries, to keep only the trace, a kind of global body, completely inapprehensible.

et pourquoi pas : "bodymakers", "falbalas", "bazaar", etc, etc... also plays with a taste for the luminous vibration, the atmospheric and the theatre of the marvellous (notably with the presence of the lighting work of Cathy Olive) and reveals itself as a curiosity room.

A dyslexic epic in costume."
