Summa Iru

Buffle sur les quais de Varanasi

Artistic creation is for me, today, a new way of seeing and apprehending the world by the means of the body and the movement.

Far from being a dramaturgic construction around a theme, an idea or a fiction, I am more and more interested in a work of déconstruction and erasure of all these memory elements which limit the space of the view.

In tamoul, language of Tamil Nadu, State of Southern India, Summa iru means "to remain quiet: there is nothing to do...!". Far from being a renunciation of the world, this teaching expression, used by the Masters of Vedanta, invites us to bring up to date a "release-catch " of the view, so that the relational space which surrounds us can appear a field of free forces, being spread beyond any personal projection.

In this transmutation of the view, which changes us subject into witness, body dancing into interpreter, we become " Movement " in service of a dramaturgy of the Vacuum, where any arrangement is potentially present.

To preserve this possibility to be, clean the danced movement, to the dancer, to the choreographer and to the witness must forget itself to even become the movement. Then the settings concerned, the interrogations and the answers of their own memories will work the various dramaturgies of work. When the listening of lived body, taken as the experiment and the significant expression of the Vacuum, coincides with the movement being done, choreographic work is completed...

Summa lru is a place of appeasing of the body, a scenic and dramaturgic machine to collect and " go up " the movement, until its source, where, from the abandonment, is born the dance. Free of any spectacular and scenographic effect, the attention of the witness is guided, by lived of the interpreter and the tension of the movement,towards a contemplation of silence.
