ALIX EYNAUDI
The Rehearsal, a (shady) dance
#Solo/Multi
Alix Eynaudi will bring her practice into Jason Dodge’s exhibition, Cut a Door in the Wolf. Together with Mark Lorimer, Cécile Tonizzo, An Breugelmans, Hugo Le Brigand, the choreographer and dancer will rehearse within the exhibition space from 18 through 21 January 2022 and then will perform on 22 and 23 January at 6 pm.
Eynaudi’s practice focuses on the implementation of social experiments based on art, poetry and everyday life, interpreting her work as a choreographer with a particular attention to the (combination of) infrastructures that make these possible.
In the words of Eynaudi: The Rehearsal, a (shady) dance “is a name crafted like a passed-on charm that resonates with pine trees, in leather costumes: it is a quick-change displacement of dances, à cheval between mother tongues, mini tributes across fields of confluence. The piece unfolds its over-exposures in the dim lighting of a rehearsal, with pieces obscurely woven together, cascading away into time spent together in the shadow of rooms (in bloom), in the shadow of ourselves and our inner meteorologies, in the shadow of other works. Dances flicker into not-taking-shape, precisely. They shimmer and nestle themselves inside of an elbow, cutting the nails of literality, caressing a thought in their undergrowth. Hugo, Cécile, Mark, An and Alix assemble their movements (in vain) with dedication, re-practicing those forces that already exist, resting under the influence of the things we write with.”
