daté·e·s

After ECCE (H)OMO and ALEXANDRE, two solos which sought to interpret an archive through bodily perspectives, Pol Pi puts this question at work once again having as a starting point the singular archives each individual carries within themselves. Inviting two dancers located in other points of time, culture, gender, he creates a crossroads between three generations, three stories: Pol Pi, dancer and choreographer born in 1982, trained in music and physical theatre, Solen Athanassopoulos, born in 2001, freestyle hip hop dancer, and Jean-Christophe Paré, born in 1957, former dancer at Opera de Paris and performer for many choreographers.

In « daté·e·s » (dated), the bodies become the seismographs of intimate marks, like documents in which to read the intensity, the desire, the commitment of a position in the present. From the biographical to the collective and from the collective to the intimate, their ways of moving, of exchanging, provoke a questioning that returns to each body – its ways of situating itself vis-à-vis its places of belonging. From the figure of the body as an archive – made of gestures, voices, memories – Pol Pi creates a constellation of alterities that recompose a plural political and subjective landscape.
